The All Cargo Advantage: 15 Minutes = Faster, Smarter Shipping

 

Being located just 15 minutes away from the port gives us a massive edge in speed, cost, and reliability. Here’s how:

 

1. Faster Turnaround Times

 

We can move vehicles and machinery to the port within the hour, reducing delays caused by long inland hauls.

 

2. Lower Drayage Costs

 

The closer you are to the port, the less you pay in trucking fees and fuel surcharges.

Example: The average drayage fee within 15 miles is up to 40% lower than from facilities 50+ miles away.

 

3. Less Risk of Port Congestion Delays

 

Our proximity allows us to adjust quickly to vessel cut-offs, appointment slots, and last-minute changes.

 

4. Real-Time Coordination

 

Our team can monitor port activity in real-time and ensure your container gets priority attention.

 

5. Reduced Carbon Emissions

 

Shorter trips to port mean lower environmental impact — a growing concern for businesses and individuals alike.

Being near the Port of Savannah gives us faster access to global shipping lanes, making it easy to export:

  • Cars to West Africa, Europe, and the Middle East

  • Heavy machinery to Latin America and Asia

???? Real Talk: Why Other Locations Slow You Down

 

If your logistics provider is 1–2 hours from port, that time adds up. It can mean:

  • Missing the sailing cut-off

  • Additional costs for escort or chassis rentals

 

We skip all that — because we’re already there.
