Container-to-trailer transload near Port Newark
Container unloading
Containers are stripped at the dock and the freight is staged for its outbound leg. Bring it palletized and it moves straight across.
Floor-loaded freight
Cartons stacked floor to ceiling without a pallet in sight get hand-unloaded and built onto standard 40” × 48” pallets, billed at $85 per pallet built.
Palletizing and wrapping
Freight is squared onto pallets and stretch-wrapped for the road. Wrap only is $25 per pallet; fix and wrap, where product needs realigning first, is $45.
Short-term storage
The first 2 hours after processing are free. Past that it is $4 per pallet per day, or from $59 per standard pallet per month if the freight is going to sit.
Outbound LTL, FTL and final mile
Consolidated into fuller outbound loads, handed to your carrier, or delivered locally from $350 depending on distance.
Port and rail pickup
Container pickup and drop from the terminal and from rail ramps, so the box moves before per diem and demurrage start compounding.
Before and after the transload
A box with no pallets in it is a floor-loaded container unloading job first: the cartons come out by hand and go onto new pallets at $85 per built pallet. Freight that already has its outbound truck booked can go straight across as a cross-dock transfer in New Jersey. If the trailer is not ready, the pallets wait in pallet storage in Carlstadt, NJ, free for the first 2 hours and then $4 per pallet per day.

- Pallet or carton count, and pallet height if you already know it
- Total weight, and whether any pallet is oversized
- Where the freight is going and when the container is available
- Whether you need storage after the strip, and for how long
- Photos, if the load has shifted or the freight condition is uncertain
