+1 (818) 600-0008Raw materials in, finished goods out, timed to the production schedule.
Because a plant doesn't wait for freight, it stops for it.
Manufacturing freight has one unforgivable failure: the stopped line. A container of components stuck at the port, a late inbound trailer, or a missed dock appointment doesn't cost a delivery fee, it costs every hour the line sits and every order sequenced behind it. Downtime is measured in thousands per hour, and the freight invoice is a rounding error next to it.
AEEM runs manufacturing freight against the production schedule, not the transit estimate. Ocean freight for imported materials and components, drayage off the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports timed to your inbound plan, full truckload for domestic materials and finished goods, and project cargo when new equipment or a line expansion is coming in. Based in Los Angeles County, covering inbound and outbound nationwide.
We monitor vessel arrivals at every San Pedro Bay terminal, booking appointments and dispatching drivers within hours of discharge.
Inbound raw materials timed to production schedules and outbound finished goods distributed nationwide, with dock appointments booked and confirmed on both ends.
A plant's freight runs in a loop. Materials come in by vessel and container, parts and packaging arrive by truckload, finished goods ship out to customers, and every leg answers to the same production calendar. Pick a service below to see how we run it for manufacturers.
FCL and LCL for imported raw materials, components, and equipment, booked at origin and delivered port-to-door with customs clearance coordinated before arrival.

Import containers pulled from the Ports of LA and Long Beach and delivered to your plant or warehouse against your inbound schedule, with live tracking.

Dry van and flatbed capacity for materials, parts, and finished goods across all 48 states, scheduled into plant dock appointments on both ends.
New production equipment, line expansions, and the shipments around them, imported and delivered in the order your installation schedule needs.
Storage and cross-docking that holds materials near the plant and releases them against production, so the floor never stores what the schedule doesn't need yet.
Team drivers running around the clock cut coast-to-coast ground to as little as 2 days, for the shipments where the line is waiting and hours matter.
A Los Angeles based team that plans freight the way your plant plans production.
Inbound is tracked against the production schedule, not just the ETA. Vessel delays get flagged before they reach the floor, drayage is booked against discharge, and when a lane runs hot we escalate to team drivers or air before the line feels it.
Plant docks run on appointments, and freight that shows up whenever wrecks the receiving day. We book dock windows directly, confirm the night before, and stagger arrivals so your forklift crew works a sequence instead of a pileup.
Chronic expediting is a planning failure wearing an urgency costume. We run your steady lanes on scheduled ground and intermodal, hold buffer stock in coordinated warehousing, and save the expedite spend for the failures that actually deserve it.
Straight answers on inbound timing, dock appointments, imported materials, and keeping the line fed.
Yes, that's the core of the service. Inbound loads are planned against your production calendar, tracked against it in transit, and flagged early when a delay upstream threatens a date on the floor.
Containers arriving through the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports move from vessel to drayage to your receiving dock under one coordinator, with customs clearance coordinated before arrival so the box clears instead of sitting on terminal.
Yes. Delivery windows are booked directly with your dock, confirmed the night before, and arrivals staggered when multiple loads land the same day, so receiving works a sequence instead of a lineup.
Escalation is planned, not improvised. Depending on the hours at stake, loads move to team drivers running around the clock or to air freight, and your team gets the revised arrival before the line schedule has to change.
Yes. Production machinery and line expansions run through our project cargo program: imported, permitted where oversize, and delivered in the sequence your installation plan calls for.
Usually, yes. Weekly inbound lanes with predictable volume are candidates for intermodal rail linehaul and scheduled truckload programs, which cost less than the spot-quote-every-load habit most plants inherit.
