Plastics & Resins Drayage
Moving imported plastics & resins from the port to your warehouse, plant or distribution center. Bagged pellets, super sacks, gaylords, sheet and industrial film.
Industrial resin is a pallet-position business with two hard constraints most importers underestimate: sprinkler classification and contamination control. Plastics carry stricter fire protection requirements than general merchandise, and a building that can legally stack corrugated four high may not be permitted to store the same cube of polyethylene at all.
What Moves in These Containers
- Bagged pellets on stretch-wrapped pallets (25 kg / 55 lb)
- Super sacks and bulk bags
- Gaylords and octabins
- Plastic sheet, rod and profile
- Industrial film and roll stock
- Compounds, masterbatch and additives
Drayage Considerations
Heavy industrial commodities like plastics & resins change the drayage equation. Container weight determines whether a standard chassis is legal or a tri-axle is required, and overweight moves price differently at every port. Terminal appointments, chassis pool availability and your receiving window all shape the final rate far more than the line haul itself.
If the container is staying intact to your facility, drayage is the whole move. If it needs to be reworked, transloading near the port often beats draying a heavy box inland. Our consultants price both and tell you which is cheaper for your freight.
