About Our Transportation Services
PackMeUS operates a comprehensive logistics network providing reliable, cost-effective transportation services for industrial containers throughout the continental United States. Whether you need containers picked up, delivered, transferred between facilities, or moved for reconditioning and recycling, our transportation solutions ensure efficient, dependable execution.
Our approach combines the flexibility of a diverse carrier network with the consistency of established relationships and proven processes. Rather than maintaining our own fleet with inherent capacity limitations, we partner with experienced, vetted carriers who specialize in industrial freight. This model provides access to appropriate equipment for any load, competitive rates through volume relationships, and geographic coverage that a single fleet could not match.
Transportation options accommodate shipments of all sizes. Full truckload (FTL) service is available for large volume moves—typically 16-24 pallets or equivalent loose-loaded containers. Less-than-truckload (LTL) service handles smaller quantities cost-effectively by consolidating with other freight. Partial truckload and dedicated options bridge the gap for mid-sized shipments requiring more control than LTL but not filling a full truck.
Equipment types match container requirements. Standard flatbed trailers handle palletized loads and containers requiring side or top loading. Dry van trailers protect containers from weather during transit. Specialized equipment—step decks, curtain sides, conestoga trailers—is available for unique requirements. For hazmat-classified materials, we arrange carriers with proper placarding, driver training, and regulatory compliance.
Real-time tracking and proactive communication keep you informed throughout the transportation process. You receive shipment updates from pickup through delivery, enabling informed planning at your receiving location. Delivery appointments are scheduled to match your facility operations. Issues are communicated promptly with solutions rather than surprises.
Pricing reflects our commitment to value. Established carrier relationships and optimized routing keep costs competitive. Transparent quoting includes all charges—no hidden fees or accessorial surprises. Volume accounts benefit from additional discounts and streamlined processing.
Our transportation services integrate seamlessly with PackMeUS buying, selling, reconditioning, and recycling services. When you purchase containers, we can deliver them. When you sell containers to us, we arrange pickup. This integration simplifies your logistics while ensuring consistent service quality throughout the container lifecycle.
