Corpus Christi has become one of the most important energy gateways on the Gulf Coast: a leading crude export port, a growing hub for LNG and refining, and an increasingly busy entry point for wind-energy components. Texas International Freight moves heavy, oversized, and project cargo to and from Corpus Christi, pairing port drayage with heavy-haul trucking so your equipment clears the terminal and reaches the site without a handoff gap.
Heavy-Haul and Project Cargo to Corpus Christi
Freight moves between Houston and Corpus Christi along the US-59/I-69 and I-37 corridors, and oversized loads need Texas permits, escorts, and careful route planning around the port and refinery districts. Whether cargo is bound for an export terminal, a refinery expansion, or a renewable-energy project, we coordinate the permits and the schedule to prevent costly demurrage charges.
Energy, Wind, and Refinery Cargo
- Wind-turbine components (blades, nacelles, and tower sections) arriving by sea
- Refinery and petrochemical process equipment
- Crude, LNG, and midstream project cargo
- Oversized breakbulk discharged at the port
For imported machinery and turbine components, we handle the ocean freight and customs clearance, then move the cargo inland on oversized transport, giving you a single point of contact from the vessel to the project site.
Port Drayage Plus Inland Heavy-Haul
The true value of a forwarder on this lane lies in bridging the gap between the port and the road. We manage terminal drayage, coordinate with the port and customs, and transition cargo directly onto heavy-equipment transport so oversized loads keep moving instead of waiting.

Can You Move Wind-Turbine Components Through the Port of Corpus Christi?
Yes. We handle the ocean freight and port discharge of blades, nacelles, and tower sections, then arrange the oversized heavy-haul transport and permits to move them inland to the project site.
Do You Handle Both Port Drayage and Inland Trucking in Corpus Christi?
Yes. We coordinate terminal drayage and customs at the port and transition cargo straight onto heavy-haul trucking, so there is no gap between the vessel and final delivery.
What Permits Are Needed for Oversized Loads to Corpus Christi?
Oversized or overweight loads require Texas permits and often pilot cars or escorts. We secure the permits and plan the route from Houston or the port to the delivery site.
