Container drayage from port terminals to warehouses, transloads, and inland rail — clean truck, TWIC, demurrage and per diem managed in-house. Serving Jacksonville, Florida and the surrounding region with direct-carrier equipment.
📞 Call (786) 574-5774 ✉️ rates@ship-ati.comATI runs drayage port services into and out of Jacksonville every business day. Our local lane planners know the access points across the Northside Industrial corridor, Westside, Imeson Park, Westlake near I-295 and the Cecil Commerce Center, the dwell patterns at JAXPORT (Blount Island, Talleyrand, Dames Point) container, auto, and breakbulk terminals, the gate hours at CSX Jacksonville Intermodal (CSX HQ city), Norfolk Southern Simpson Yard, FEC Bowden Yard, and the cargo handling at Jacksonville International (JAX) air cargo. That local fluency is the difference between a 6-hour pickup and a 16-hour dwell.
Jacksonville's freight economy is anchored in Port of Jacksonville (JAXPORT) container and auto, logistics and 3PL distribution for the Southeast, aerospace and naval. ATI moves drayage port services for shippers across these sectors with equipment that matches the commodity — not a generic dry van assigned to whatever pays today's spot rate. When you ship drayage port services into or out of Jacksonville, you should be working with a carrier that has been moving this commodity profile in this market for years, not a brokerage clicking 'auto-book' on a load board.
EPA 2010 and CARB compliant tractors registered in PierPass, eModal, and PortPass for terminal access.
100% of port drivers carry a current TWIC card — no terminal turnaways for credentials.
Live unload or drop and pull — chassis pool memberships at every major port we serve.
We monitor LFD (Last Free Day) daily and avoid demurrage and per diem charges proactively, not reactively.
Reefer plug-in monitoring at the terminal, empty return scheduling, and street turn arrangement where carriers allow.
We can transload from 40 HC ocean container to 53 ft domestic trailer at our partner cross-dock facilities for inland linehaul.
Port drayage is a stopwatch business. The container hits the terminal at one minute and the demurrage clock starts. The wrong dray carrier means demurrage, per diem, terminal congestion, and a freight invoice that doubles in 72 hours. ATI runs drayage as a discipline, not a side hustle.
Our drayage desk monitors vessel ETAs, container availability, and Last Free Day in real time. Drivers are dispatched the moment the container is available for pickup — not three days later when the steamship line emails a per diem notice. We hold chassis pool memberships at every major port we serve, run TWIC-credentialed drivers exclusively, and operate clean-truck-compliant tractors that meet local port programs (Clean Truck Program, PierPASS, Drayage Truck Registry).
The Jacksonville freight market has thinned considerably over the past 18 months. Brokerages that opened during the 2020-2022 freight boom — many of which never owned a truck — have been winding down. The shippers who held those broker relationships are now looking for carriers with their own equipment, their own drivers, and an operational track record that goes back further than the last cycle. ATI fits that brief: a direct carrier with our own iron, our own dispatch, our own compliance desk, and direct-line phone access to actual human beings 24 hours a day.
Below are three of our most active Jacksonville lanes for drayage port services, with current dry-van per-mile ranges and realistic transit. Rates assume a standard 48 or 53 ft trailer; specialty equipment (RGN, reefer, heavy haul) prices differently — call dispatch for a binding quote on your specific commodity.
