Overweight Corridor

Weber’s Long Beach warehouse is located in the overweight corridor, just outside the Ports of L.A. and Long Beach. This prime location within the corridor enables us to receive your overweight containers from the ports and perform transloading and/or weight reduction services to get your products on the move.

Weber’s Overweight Corridor Services Are:

Asset-based. Weber’s drayage services utilize a fleet of our own drop-axle tractors and tri-axle chassis (straight 20’ and slider 40’).

Fast. With the ability to control drayage, warehousing, and transloading operations ourselves, we can get your heavyweight goods in motion – and your containers back to port – quickly.

Compliant. Weber’s trucks have all necessary overweight permits and all of our drivers are hazmat-certified.

CSC Sugar ships its products in overweight containers to reduce ocean costs. Weber receives the products, removes (and stores) enough so that the container can travel OTR, delivers products to CSC vendors, and returns the containers.

Advantages of Weber Overweight Corridor Services:

Reduce shipping costs by shipping overweight containers into the Ports of L.A. and Long Beach.
Eliminate the need for chassis rentals and the associated headaches and drayage delays.
Ease your administrative burden by using Weber as your single-source solution for drayage, transloading, warehousing
(12 CA facilities) and West Region transportation.
Entrust your products to an expert as Weber has vast experience handling heavyweight containers for a wide range of products like paper rolls, commodities, machine parts, foods and beverages, tiles, and construction equipment.
