OVERWEIGHT CORRIDOR
Weber can receive your overweight containers from the ports of L.A. and Long Beach and perform transloading and/or weight reduction services to get your products on the move
Weber's Overweight Corridor Services Are:
Weber’s drayage services are equipped with a fleet of drop-axle tractors and tri-axle chassis, including both straight 20' and slider 40' configurations. These specialized vehicles allow Weber to efficiently handle overweight freight, ensuring your shipments stay compliant with regulations.
Weber’s integrated logistics capabilities allow us to move heavyweight goods swiftly and efficiently. By controlling drayage, warehousing, and transloading, we can expedite the entire process from the moment your cargo hits the ground to its return to port. This streamlined approach minimizes dwell time and helps you avoid delays that can result in costly fees.
Weber ensures that all overweight shipments are transported in full compliance with local regulations. Our fleet operations hold all the necessary overweight permits, and every driver in our team carries a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) with hazardous materials endorsements.
By filling each container to its maximum weight, you’ll ship fewer containers, reducing your total costs for import transportation by 15–20%.
