About Portside Freight Services
Charting your cargo from ship to shelf
Portside Freight Services is a near-port logistics provider based at 475 Division St in Elizabeth, NJ — 3 miles from the Port of New York and New Jersey. We run drayage, cross-docking, transloading, warehousing, and distribution from a single facility, so your containers move from vessel discharge to final delivery without handoffs between vendors.
Strategic Advantage
Minutes from the gates at APM Terminals, Maher Terminals, PNCT, Port Liberty Bayonne, and a short run to Port Liberty New York on Staten Island, our location means faster chassis turns, more pickups inside free time, and fewer detention and demurrage charges. When a container hits the pier, we're already there.
Drayage
Our container drayage covers dry, reefer, flat rack, open-top, and oversize/OOG moves from all five terminals — single pickups or dedicated weekly volume, with drivers who know every gate and appointment system in the harbor.
Transloading
Shift goods from ocean containers to domestic trailers (and back) with loading processes tailored to your product — palletized freight, floor loads, bulk, or specialized shipments.
Cross-docking
We streamline cargo flow by unloading inbound containers and consolidating freight for immediate outbound dispatch — eliminating storage time when your goods just need to keep moving.

Beyond New York and New Jersey
We also operate near-port services in Savannah, GA and Houston, TX, and provide OTR trucking — FTL, LTL, and flatbed — for freight headed beyond the metro area.
