Move Freight Between Modes Without Slowing Down
Transloading services connecting containers, trucks, warehouses and
inland transportation for more efficient freight movement across your
supply chain.
Connecting One Stage of Your Supply Chain to the Next
When freight needs to change equipment or transportation mode,
transloading keeps the shipment moving.
JKN Logistics Inc. provides transloading support for freight moving
between containers, trailers, warehouse facilities and inland
transportation. By connecting transloading with drayage, warehousing
and distribution, businesses can coordinate multiple freight movements
through one logistics partner.
What Is Transloading?
Transfer Freight. Change Equipment. Keep Moving.
Transloading is the process of transferring cargo from one form of
transportation or equipment to another during its journey.
For example, freight arriving inside an ocean container may be
unloaded at a transloading facility and transferred into a truck
trailer for inland transportation.
Typical Freight Flow
Port Container → Transloading Facility → Truck → Destination

Integrated Logistics
Transloading Works Better When the Connections Work Too
Moving cargo from one piece of equipment to another is only part of
the process. Containers must reach the facility, freight may require
storage or handling, and the shipment must continue toward its next destination.
JKN Logistics can connect transloading with drayage, warehousing and
transportation services to create a more coordinated freight movement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Transloading FAQ
Common questions about transloading, container handling and connected
freight services.
What is transloading?
Transloading is the process of transferring freight from one
transportation mode or piece of equipment to another during its journey.
For example, cargo may be transferred from an ocean container into
a truck trailer for inland transportation.
What is the difference between transloading and cross-docking?
Transloading generally involves transferring cargo between different
transportation equipment or modes. Cross-docking typically involves
moving suitable inbound freight toward outbound transportation with
little or no intermediate storage.
Does JKN Logistics provide container transloading?
JKN Logistics supports container transloading requirements,
including suitable freight transfers between containers, trailers
and warehouse operations.
Can transloading be combined with drayage?
Yes. Drayage can connect port or rail container movements with the
transloading facility and other stages of the inland transportation process.
Can freight be stored after transloading?
Where required, transloading can be coordinated with warehousing
and storage so freight can undergo additional handling or wait for
its next movement.
What information is needed for a transloading quote?
Provide the freight type, container or equipment details, quantity
or pallet count, origin, destination, timing and any special
handling requirements.
