What Is Container Drayage?
Container drayage is the critical link in the global supply chain, involving the transport of ocean freight containers over short distances between port terminals, rail yards, and local shipping destinations. At KIA Transport, we specialize in bridging this gap with precision and speed.
With daily operations at Montreal's major hubs, we eliminate the bottlenecks that often delay containerized cargo. Our experienced team handles the scheduling, terminal coordination, and direct transport so you do not have to worry about demurrage or storage fees.

- Importers and exporters requiring direct port-to-warehouse container movements.
- 3PL providers and freight forwarders looking for reliable asset-based local capacity.
