Container Drayage & Intermodal

Container Drayage & Intermodal Rail Service at Port Newark, Port Elizabeth & NJ Rail Yards

Import and export container drayage on our own tractors and chassis, from every terminal in the Port of New York and New Jersey and every New Jersey rail yard, with 24-hour in-house dispatch.

Overview

A Port Newark Drayage Company With Its Own Trucks, Chassis, and Yard

Eastwind Trucking provides container drayage throughout New Jersey and New York: port pickups and deliveries from Port Newark, Port Elizabeth, GCT Bayonne, and the New York terminals, plus intermodal rail service to all NJ rail yards, including CSX, Croxton, and Millenium Rails.

Because our headquarters in Elizabeth and our 8-acre yard in Newark are minutes from the gates, we pre-pull, stage, and turn containers faster than carriers running in from outside the port district. That means fewer missed appointments, lower demurrage and per-diem exposure, and Just-In-Time performance for production schedules.

What's Included

Port and Rail Drayage, End to End

Port Pickups & Deliveries

Every terminal in the Port of NY and NJ, including Maher, APM, PNCT, GCT Bayonne, and the New York side.

NJ Rail Yard Drayage

Intermodal service to and from CSX, Croxton, Millenium Rails, and every other New Jersey rail yard.

Pre-Pull & Yard Storage

Containers pulled early and staged at our Newark yard so your delivery appointment never depends on a port appointment.

Export Loads

Empty pickups, live loads or drops at your dock, and on-time ingates to meet the cutoff.

Just-In-Time Delivery

Appointment-driven moves built around your production calendar and receiving hours.

Overweight & Bonded

Tri-axle chassis for heavy boxes and bonded handling for international freight moving in-bond.

How It Works

From Discharge to Dock in Four Steps

Step 01

Send Us the Container

Share the container number, terminal or rail yard, delivery address, weight, and the date it is available or needed.

Step 02

We Quote and Schedule

Same-day pricing for most lanes. Dispatch books the terminal appointment and assigns a driver on our own equipment.

Step 03

Pickup, Stage, or Deliver

We pull the box, deliver direct, or stage it at our Newark yard to protect your receiving window.

Step 04

Empty Return and Close-Out

We return the empty before free time expires and confirm every milestone from a live dispatch desk.

Yes. Pre-pulls to our Newark yard, street-turns, and tight empty-return scheduling are the main tools, and because we own the chassis we are not waiting on pool availability.
