Terminal guide
Maher Terminals
The biggest marine terminal in the harbor — and literally our next-door neighbor on Corbin Street.
- UIIA interchange carrier
- TWIC-credentialed drivers

- Certificates of insurance on request
Maher Terminals describes itself as North America's largest marine container terminal, moving a huge share of the port's volume through the Elizabeth channel. Its published empty-dispatch and vessel-receiving reports are the daily reference documents for anyone running its gates.
Our address is 1201 Corbin Street. Maher's is 1210. When Maher's truck lines build, we see them from the office — that proximity is not a marketing line, it's how our dispatch reads gate conditions in real time.
Trucker notes
- Maher publishes empty dispatch/returns and vessel receiving as PDFs updated on terminal schedule — always pull the current file the morning of the move.
- Turn times swing hard with vessel bunching; early-gate appointments are the defensive play on heavy weeks.
- Exports: verify receiving windows against the current vessel receiving schedule PDF before dispatching against a cutoff.
How we run this gate
Maher is our home gate. We run imports, exports, and empty returns there daily, with the current returns and receiving documents checked by dispatch before every move — and a window view of the truck lines as a tiebreaker.
Common questions
- Where are Maher's gate hours published?
- Maher Terminals publishes hours of operation on its own website, and they flex with volume and holidays. Check the official hours page, or let our dispatch — headquartered next door — time the move.
- How do I know where Maher accepts empty returns?
- Maher publishes an empty dispatch and returns report on its portal, updated on the terminal's schedule. We check the current document for the specific steamship line before any empty return.
- How close is Pig-Tainer to Maher?
- Our headquarters at 1201 Corbin Street is directly adjacent to Maher's 1210 Corbin Street address — we are the drayage carrier next door.
