Streamlining Your Shipping Process with Pre-pull Services
Pre-pull service is a critical solution in cargo logistics, designed to reduce delays and manage shipping costs effectively.
We move your containers from the port to our nearby storage yard ahead of delivery, protecting you from demurrage costs and port delays.
What Is Pre-pull Service?
Think of pre-pull service like having a helpful middleman for your shipping containers.
Instead of leaving them at the busy port where fees can add up fast, we move them to nearby secure locations.
This gives you more flexibility on delivery timing and helps avoid those costly port fees. It’s basically giving you more control while keeping your costs down.
