Transloading
Transloading Services — Nationwide + Burnsville, MN
Keep your cargo moving between transportation modes. Conveyco coordinates transloading across the United States through our partner network and at our own facility in Burnsville, Minnesota.
Transloading transfers freight from one mode of transportation to another — most often from an ocean container to domestic trucks, or from rail to truck — so your goods keep moving instead of sitting. Conveyco coordinates transloading nationwide through a vetted partner network and at our own warehouse facility in Burnsville, MN. New to the concept? Start with our explainer on what transloading is.
When transloading makes sense
- Import deconsolidation and distribution — break an inbound ocean container onto domestic equipment for regional delivery.
- Export consolidation — combine inbound freight into outbound ocean containers staged and ready for the port.
- Container-to-truck and truck-to-container transfers — anywhere in the country, through our partner network.
- Avoiding per diem and detention — transload quickly and return the ocean container, instead of letting charges accrue while it sits.
Transloading vs. warehousing
The two often get conflated. Transloading moves cargo between modes; warehousing stores it. Many shipments use both — a short transload stop, plus a little staging space between legs. We offer flexible warehouse space (roughly 10,000 square feet) at our Burnsville facility for short-term staging and overflow, alongside nationwide transloading. For a deeper comparison, see transloading vs. warehousing.
Coordinated with the rest of your move
Transloading rarely happens in isolation — it connects to ocean freight, drayage and trucking, and rail. Because Conveyco coordinates all of it, your transload is scheduled around the drayage appointment and the onward delivery, with real-time container tracking and a customer portal for documents and status. We also coordinate customs clearance through a licensed customs broker partner so timing lines up from arrival through delivery.
