Your Freight. Our Trucks.
Port, Rail & Road
Container drayage, rail ramp work, transloading, and dry van and flatbed truckload across the lower 48. One asset fleet, one dispatch desk, and live GPS tracking on every load we run.

Live Tracking on Every Container
Your container is off the vessel.
The clock is already running.
Free time at the terminal is short and the charges after it are not. 61 Transport runs port and ramp freight every day: pulling containers ahead of last free day, staging them in our yard, and delivering on your schedule instead of the port's. When the freight needs to keep moving, our OTR fleet takes it anywhere in the lower 48.
Our team
People behind every load.
A family operation with the discipline of a large fleet. When you call 61 Transport, the person who answers knows your containers by number.

Services
Built around the container.
From vessel discharge to final delivery, every service exists to keep your containers moving and your accessorial charges at zero.
Port Drayage
Container moves in and out of Southeast ports. TWIC-credentialed drivers, UIIA interchange, and terminal appointment discipline.
Rail Ramp Drayage
CSX and Norfolk Southern ramp work across the Southeast. Metro ramps and inland point intermodal.
Pre-Pull & Storage
Pull containers ahead of last free day and stage them in our yard. Per diem and demurrage stop being a line item.
OTR Truckload
Dry van and flatbed coverage across the lower 48 for freight that keeps rolling past the ramp.
Transloading
Container to trailer transloads for import programs that need domestic legs without the box.
Chassis Management
Owned and pool chassis coordination so a missing chassis never becomes your problem.
Drop & Hook
Trailer pools and drop programs for shippers with steady weekly volume.
Project & Overflow
Surge capacity for peak season, vessel bunching, and freight that cannot wait in a queue.
Why 61 Transport
Drayage is a timing business. We run it that way.
Missed appointments, dead chassis, and per diem invoices are what happen when a carrier treats port work like a side business. Drayage is our main line, and it shows in the details.
Per Diem Discipline
Last free days tracked on every container. Pre-pulls scheduled before charges start, not after.
Port Fluency
Terminal flow, appointment systems, and vessel schedules are our daily routine, not a mystery.
Asset Based
Our trucks, our drivers, our chassis. When we commit to a move, the capacity is already ours.
Live Visibility
GPS tracking, geofenced terminal events, and instant POD delivery on every load through our FreightWake platform.
