From Port to Door: A Guide to Drayage and Intermodal Freight

When your goods arrive at a North American port, the journey is far from over. That crucial first leg of inland transportation—known as drayage—can make or break your supply chain efficiency.

At Lantrax Logistics, we specialize in connecting the dots between ocean freight and final delivery through coordinated drayage and intermodal solutions across Canada and the U.S.

What is Drayage?

Drayage refers to the short-distance transport of containers from ports to nearby warehouses, rail yards, or final destinations. These moves are often time-sensitive and subject to strict port regulations, making coordination critical.

Whether it's a single container or multiple units, we handle drayage moves quickly and compliantly, minimizing dwell time and demurrage fees.

What is Intermodal Freight?

Intermodal shipping combines multiple modes of transportation—usually ocean, rail, and truck—without handling the freight itself during transfers. It’s an efficient, cost-effective option for long-distance shipments that require flexibility and scalability.

At Lantrax, we leverage strong rail and carrier partnerships to move your freight seamlessly across regions, offering real-time tracking and complete visibility from port to door.

Why It Matters

  • Faster turnaround from port terminals

  • Lower shipping costs through modal optimization

  • Better environmental footprint via rail integration

  • Reduced risk of delays with expert coordination and bonded facilities

Whether you’re importing through Vancouver, Prince Rupert, Montreal, or a U.S. gateway, Lantrax Logistics is your one-stop partner for seamless container transport.
