Container Drayage & Port Trucking

Port congestion, chassis shortages, and tight terminal cut-offs can turn a simple first- or last-mile move into the costliest leg of your entire shipment. Miss a pickup window and storage fees stack up; lose sight of a container and production stalls. Journey closes those gaps. We pair nationwide terminal coverage with proactive scheduling and live container tracking, so boxes exit on time and hit your dock intact.
