New Now offering port drayage
Port drayagefrom Los Angeles and Long Beach to the Inland Empire
Container drayage, transloading and onward truckload delivery from one asset-based carrier in Riverside, CA.
Why shippers choose KSI for port drayage
KSI drays containers from the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to Inland Empire warehouses and San Diego, and through Riverside on to Las Vegas, Phoenix, Salt Lake City or Sacramento. One carrier picks up, transloads or delivers and returns the empty. No handoff, no container waiting on a chassis.

Pier to final mile, one carrier
Dray, transload, store and deliver under one bill of lading.
Fewer per-diem surprises
Appointment pickups and fast empty returns keep fees down.
Transload inland, not at the port
Our dock, labor and trucks, about an hour inland in Riverside.
Tracked from the gate
GPS from out-gate to empty return.
Asset-based accountability
Our drivers, tractors and chassis. One account manager.
From the ports to the I‑15 and I‑5 corridors
Most drayage carriers stop at the warehouse door. Our Riverside base, about an hour from the ports and minutes from the I‑15, makes the dray the first leg of a corridor move.
Trucks already heading out
Transloaded freight rides trucks that cycle the corridor daily, so the long-haul rate reflects our backhaul density.
Somewhere to wait
Late vessel or congested terminal? Our Riverside yard and drop trailers hold your freight off the per-diem clock.

Port drayage FAQ
Other questions? Call us Mon–Sat 8am–5pm: 888-581-5080
Can you transload my container and ship it to Las Vegas on the same carrier?
Yes, that's the core service: dray to Riverside, transload to a 53' trailer, deliver on a KSI truck.
Do you offer drayage without transloading?
Yes. Many customers just need delivery to an Inland Empire or San Diego dock and the empty returned.
