Container control
The box, managed. Not just moved.
Dispatch, appointments, terminal milestones, driver readiness, and the empty-return clock — one operating record, watched by software we built and dispatchers you can call.
- UIIA interchange carrier
- TWIC-credentialed drivers
- EPA SmartWay partner
- Certificates of insurance on request
What container control actually means
Every container we handle lives on a single operating record inside Conterminal — the container-intelligence platform our dispatch runs on. Vessel ETA, discharge, availability, holds, appointment, driver assignment, delivery, and empty return are milestones on that record, not lines in three spreadsheets and six terminal tabs.
The computer chases the update — not the dispatcher, and never you. When something moves, the record moves, and the person who needs to know gets told.
- Terminal and steamship-line signals attached to the move
- Appointment booking and re-booking without your involvement
- Empty-return acceptance checked against the line's current rules
- Last-free-day and per-diem exposure flagged before it costs money
What you see
You get updates with context — not a tracking number and good luck. When we tell you a box moved, we tell you what happens next and when. If a hold appears or an appointment slips, you hear it from us with the recovery plan attached.
Why we run on Conterminal
Four generations of drayage taught us where moves actually go wrong: a missed acceptance change, a stale appointment, a free-day clock nobody was watching. Conterminal is the platform we run on because it watches all of it — terminals, steamship lines, and deadlines — machine-fast and all day. Our dispatchers spend their attention on the freight and the phone, and this service is that system pointed at your boxes.
