California freight services: statewide trucking, port drayage, and warehousing
GENERAL OVERVIEW

California freight, run from Los Angeles

California moves more containerized freight than any U.S. state. Nearly half of it enters through the San Pedro Bay port complex at Los Angeles and Long Beach, and that volume brings congestion, chassis shortages, and demurrage risk for importers.

AEEM Shipping dispatches California freight from Los Angeles: same-day container drayage at the Ports of LA and Long Beach, pre-pull and overweight handling, transloading and warehousing in the Inland Empire, and FTL & LTL trucking to every California metro. Every carrier is CARB-vetted, with 24/7 live dispatch.

California container drayage: terminal operations at the Port of Long Beach

We run daily out of the Los Angeles and Long Beach complex, the nation's busiest container gateway, covering the Inland Empire, Orange County, and greater Southern California. Every San Pedro Bay terminal runs its own appointment system, and chassis pools tighten without warning. Our dispatch team tracks vessel ETAs and books pickup windows before boxes hit the yard. When free time is short, a pre-pull beats paying demurrage.

California adds rules most national brokers never price in: CARB compliance limits the out-of-state carrier pool, and AB5 changed how brokers engage owner-operators. Every carrier we dispatch on California lanes is CARB-vetted, so quoted capacity can legally run.

Frequently asked questions

California freight: questions we get every day.

Straight answers on drayage, trucking, and warehousing across the state.

Do you cover all of California or just Los Angeles?

All of it. LA and Long Beach drayage is home turf, Oakland runs through vetted partner carriers, and our FTL and LTL network covers every California metro.

How fast can you pick up a container at the Ports of LA or Long Beach?

Most drayage moves are dispatched within 24 hours of container availability. Priority service is available for time-sensitive, reefer, or hazmat cargo.

Are your carriers CARB compliant?

Yes. Every carrier we dispatch on California lanes is vetted for CARB compliance, so the capacity we quote can legally do the work.

Can you store containers if my warehouse isn't ready?

Yes. Pre-pulls, secure container storage, and Inland Empire transloading when breaking freight down is the better play.
