New York and New Jersey Drayage & Container Trucking
OnTrak Transport arranges container drayage at the Port of New York and New Jersey, covering APM Elizabeth, Maher, GCT Bayonne and GCT New York and delivering across the New York metro area, northern New Jersey and the I-95 corridor. NY / NJ is serviced through our vetted carrier network and dispatched by our own team in Miami, so you get one point of contact, one invoice and the same communication standard we run at our home port.
Asset-based in Miami, network coverage in NY / NJ
New York and New Jersey is the largest container port complex on the East Coast and one of the most time-sensitive drayage markets in the country, where appointment discipline and chassis availability decide whether free time holds.
We are straight with customers about how this works. OnTrak owns its trucks, chassis and yard in Miami, where we are asset-based and run our own drivers every day. In NY / NJ we do not. Your container is moved by a vetted carrier in our network, selected and managed by our Miami dispatch team, who track the appointment, the chassis and the empty return exactly as they would on a PortMiami move. You deal with OnTrak throughout.
For importers, brokers and 3PLs already moving freight through South Florida, that means one carrier relationship instead of a new vendor in every market, and one team answering the phone when a container is sitting.
The same services, through our network
Port and ramp pulls
Container collection from APM Elizabeth, Maher, GCT Bayonne and GCT New York, booked against the terminal appointment and the last free day.
Delivery and unload
Live unload or drop-and-pick to your facility across the New York metro area, northern New Jersey and the I-95 corridor, scheduled around your receiving window.
Specialised freight
Hazmat, overweight and refrigerated containers handled by carriers credentialed for that cargo, not whoever is available.
Empty returns
Prompt empty and chassis returns, because per diem accrues the same way in NY / NJ as it does in Miami.
South Florida is where we run our own equipment
If your freight moves through PortMiami or Port Everglades, you get our own 44-truck Miami fleet, our Doral yard and our TWIC-holding drivers. That is where OnTrak is asset-based, and it is where most of our customers' volume sits. NY / NJ coverage exists so that the rest of your network does not need a separate carrier.
