SOC shippers
Shippers with their own container or container under customer control that still need the local drayage leg handled by a direct carrier.
Shipper-owned container drayage
Local drayage support for shipper-owned and customer-owned containers when equipment fit, routing, and documentation are reviewed.
SP Logistics can support SOC and customer-owned container trucking when equipment, chassis fit, route, access, and documentation are reviewed. Container condition, ownership or lease status, chassis compatibility, size and type, weight, and pickup or dropoff rules must be clear before dispatch confirms fit. Customer, forwarder, shipper, or booking party handles booking, documents, and release or return instructions.
Who this helps
Use this page when the equipment itself belongs to the shipper or customer and the local move still needs review.
This page is designed for customers moving shipper-owned or customer-owned containers between ports, yards, rail ramps, warehouses, facilities, and project sites when equipment fit and release rules are already known or ready to review.
Forwarders and booking parties
Teams coordinating release, return, and routing details for customer-owned container moves.
Facilities and project sites
Sites that need a container delivered, repositioned, staged, or returned under clear access and equipment rules.
Port and rail users
SOC moves that still touch port, rail, yard, or facility requirements before final delivery or return.
How the move works
The move starts with container ownership, condition, and operating rules being clear.
Dispatch reviews the physical container, chassis fit, route, site access, and local timing before confirming whether the SOC move fits the lane.
Equipment review
Container size, type, condition, and chassis compatibility must be reviewed before dispatch can confirm the plan.
Route and access review
Port, rail, yard, warehouse, facility, and project-site rules may all affect whether the move is workable.
Pickup and dropoff rules
Ownership or lease status, release instructions, and return rules must be clear before pickup or dropoff is confirmed.
Capacity and legal weight
Final fit depends on legal weight, chassis fit, lane timing, and available carrier capacity.

- Accurate container condition details, size and type, weight, and site contact information.
- Any shipment-side approvals outside the carrier role.

Limitations and guardrails
Service is reviewed against equipment fit, access, legal weight, and capacity.
- SOC moves may involve port, rail, yard, warehouse, facility, or project-site requirements that must be reviewed before dispatch confirms fit.
- Support is subject to equipment fit, site access, legal weight, and available capacity.
- SP Logistics does not provide the SOC container itself and does not take ownership of booking, documents, or release-party functions on this page.
- Any confirmed-scope palletized support remains separate and must be reviewed under the existing warehouse and yard storage page.
