Container Drayage
Southeastern Logistics moves containers between South Florida ports, rail ramps, warehouses, and customers.
Drayage is the short-distance truck move of a container between a port or rail ramp and a warehouse, distribution center, or customer. It includes pickup, delivery, and return of the empty container.
- PortMiami: POMTOC, Seaboard Marine, King Ocean, Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, CMA CGM, and MSC
- Port Everglades: South Florida Container Terminal, APM Terminals, Crowley, and FIT
- Port of Palm Beach: Tropical Shipping
- Rail: Florida East Coast Railway ramps in Miami and Fort Lauderdale
A driver picks up the container at the terminal, delivers it to the consignee, and returns the empty to the designated depot. Each step may require an appointment or gate time.
Terminal congestion, chassis availability, appointment availability, and delivery-site hours all affect timing. Early scheduling reduces the impact.
LTL & FTL
We move freight by less-than-truckload (LTL) and full truckload (FTL), on routes from Miami up the East Coast.
LTL (less-than-truckload) shares trailer space with other shipments and is priced by weight, freight class, and distance. FTL (full truckload) gives one customer a dedicated trailer.
Pricing considers weight, freight class, distance, and accessorials such as liftgate or appointment fees.
From Miami up the East Coast to New York and New Jersey.
Last-Mile Delivery
Our last-mile service covers the final leg from a regional hub, port, or warehouse to a commercial delivery address.

Yes. Book delivery appointments at least 48 hours ahead.
No. We deliver to commercial addresses only.
Temperature-Controlled Transport
We move refrigerated and perishable cargo. The questions below cover reefer drayage, gensets, temperature monitoring, and common delays.
Reefer drayage is the truck move of a refrigerated container between a port or rail ramp and a cold storage facility, warehouse, or customer, with temperature control maintained throughout.
A genset is a portable generator that powers a reefer container when it is not connected to terminal or vessel power, such as during a truck move.
[We track temperatures with setpoint logs.]
Common causes include:
- Terminal congestion
- Chassis shortages
- Delivery appointment problems
- Documentation holds
- Weather
Yes. We transport perishables, including meats, produce, seafood, and more.
Hazmat & Overweight Transport
We haul hazmat Classes 3 and 8 and overweight or oversize loads, with permits and route planning handled before each move.
Classes 3 and 8 only (flammable and corrosive). Our drivers are hazmat certified.
Moves over legal size or weight limits need a permit from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) State Permit Office. [Link to current FDOT permit portal.] Florida offers trip permits for a single trip and blanket permits valid for up to 12 months. Confirm current permit types and requirements with FDOT before each move.
We conduct a route survey and check permits before each overweight move.
Warehousing & Yard Space
We offer yard space in Miami.
Over 1.5 acres of yard space available.
