The Short-Distance Shipping Partner You’ve Been Looking For
It’s often necessary to have goods shipped over short distances, yet traditional freight and transportation services for this purpose are often an inefficient and costly option.
At QLS we offer Drayage shipping of goods from intermediary locations as part of a longer transportation route.
In many cases, goods need to be temporarily transported from border points, seaports, or intermodal terminals to an intermediary destination before being loaded for long-haul shipping.
Types of Drayage Services Offered by QLS Include
Inter-Carrier
As the name suggests, this form of Drayage involves the transport of goods or materials between different companies, or between varying modes of transportation (such as rail to truck).
Intra-Carrier
Intra-Carrier drayage services from QLS ensure the fast and secure transportation of finished goods or raw materials from differing locations by a single carrier.
Expedited
We understand business needs can change in an instant, often putting you and your company in a tight spot. When you need something shipped fast, from one local location to the next, our emergency response team can expedite transport and get everything where it needs to be quick.
Shuttle
Our shuttle transport services reliably move containers or goods from warehouse storage to hold until the next leg of transport is ready.
Door-to-Door
As the name implies, this service is often ideal when you need to ship from one of your store or company locations to the next, or from warehouse to office/industrial/manufacturing or other end stop locations.
Pier
Need to get your goods from storage, warehouse, or rail yards to a port/pier for transportation by vessel? Our pier shipping services can get the job done right.

Does your company deal with shipping containers for the transport of goods or materials? Our intermodal drayage service can provide you with short-distance transport of containers between various modes of transport including vessel/cargo ship, rail, air, and truck.
