Container Drayage Built Around Port and Rail Operations
Spartanus Cargo Systems moves import and export containers between marine terminals, rail ramps, and the warehouses, distribution centers, and plants our customers ship to. Appointment scheduling, chassis management, and per-diem control are handled as part of the move rather than left to the shipper.
Day to day that means standard dry containers, refrigerated containers that need genset support and monitoring, hazmat freight that requires endorsed drivers and compliant equipment, and overweight boxes that need the right chassis, permits, and routing. Work stays local to the terminal when that is what the freight calls for, and extends to 500+ mile regional runs where the lane makes commercial sense.
We operate in North Jersey, Philadelphia, Savannah, and Gulfport, with Baltimore in soft opening. Importers, exporters, freight forwarders, NVOCCs, brokers, and warehouse teams use us as a primary drayage provider in one market or as steady overflow capacity across several.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our drayage services.
Container drayage is the short-haul movement of an ocean container between a marine terminal or rail ramp and a nearby facility such as a warehouse, distribution center, or plant. It covers the import leg from the terminal to the consignee and the export leg back to the terminal, along with the chassis, appointment, and terminal paperwork that go with the move.
