Drayage & Overland Transportation
Ground Freight, Kept on Course.
Once Your Cargo Clears, the Clock Keeps Running
After clearance, the ground move still has to happen on time. Containers need to be picked up before free time runs out, deliveries need to match warehouse schedules, and empties need to be returned promptly. When any of those steps slip, demurrage, detention, and storage charges follow, often before they show up on an invoice.
CV International arranges ground transportation through a network of vetted carriers and stays involved from pickup to delivery. Whether your freight is moving to or from a port, or crossing a border by truck, our team tracks each move and acts early when timing starts to slip.
Clearance and Delivery, Connected
Container availability and release status belong in the same view. When transportation and customs sit with different parties, updates move slowly between them, and free time runs out while everyone waits for answers.
As your customs broker and NVOCC, CVI tracks and executes both. Through CVInsight™, our visibility technology, our team sees when an entry releases, when a container becomes available, and when its last free day falls. We then coordinate pickup with your trucking partners. The same team that clears your cargo helps keep it moving.
Expertly Managing Each Pickup and Delivery
And the Carriers Behind Them.
A drayage program depends on well-timed moves, accurate billing, and reliable carriers. CVI manages all three.
Delivery Management
We coordinate pickups around container availability and last free day, schedule deliveries to fit your warehouse capacity, and track each move through proof of delivery and empty return.
Freight Audit
We check trucker invoices against container events and approved rates, including demurrage, per diem, chassis, and detention charges. When something doesn't match, we dispute it with the carrier and see it through to resolution.
Carrier Performance
We select trucking partners for capacity, reputation, safety, and on-time history, then hold them to defined service standards. Performance scorecards track pickup timing, POD reporting, billing turnaround, and empty returns.
