Scheduled & On-Demand Trucking

Scheduled & On-Demand Container Trucking Across the Northeast

Recurring lanes with dedicated equipment and consistent drivers, plus rush capacity when your shipping window shifts. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, and New England through Maine.

Overview

Dependable Lanes, Flexible Capacity, One Dispatch Desk

Many of our customers move containers on a rhythm: a set number of boxes per day from Port Newark to a Pennsylvania DC, a weekly rail program out of Croxton, a seasonal surge into New England. Eastwind builds scheduled trucking programs around that rhythm with dedicated tractors, consistent drivers, and standing appointments.

When something changes, a vessel slides, a customer calls early, a container rolls, our on-demand capacity picks up the slack. Because it is all run from one in-house 24-hour dispatch desk on privately owned equipment, you never have to call a broker to find a truck.
