Port Drayage
Unparalleled visibility + cost control for your drayage shipments
Our free online platform makes it easy to price and tender port drayage shipments in seconds. We’ve even integrated with port operators, truckers, and warehouses so you can improve visibility with real-time tracking and control costs with automated empty management.
Transload
Control costs and improve efficiency by seamlessly moving goods from containers to over-the-road transportation
Loadsmart’s Transload offering bridges the gap between port drayage and over-the-road trucking, providing you greater flexibility, service and cost control when compared to rail. Our free web-based platform, Loadsmart Transit, enables warehouses to assign each PO to a trailer, so you can track goods down to the piece level, so you know what goods, from what containers, have been loaded onto what trucks.
Improve on-time service by automatically selecting the best possible appointment time
Once you tender a shipment to Loadsmart, our Smart Scheduling technology automatically selects the best possible appointment by analyzing estimated travel time and other factors. For locations utilizing a dock management system, appointments can even be selected and confirmed automatically. Should a driver’s ETA change, appointments can be instantly adjusted while enroute.
The fastest way to price, book and track a shipment
Transit, our award-winning web-based platform, is the simplest way to price, book and track your FTL, LTL, and Port Drayage shipments.
