How SP Logistics helps

Weight matters early

Send gross weight, container size, cargo type, pickup point, delivery location, and any scale/permit concerns before scheduling.

Equipment planning

Tri-axle and chassis needs should be confirmed before pickup so the move is legal, practical, and appointment-ready.

Avoid surprises

Early review helps reduce missed appointments, equipment shortages, and overweight routing issues.

What to send for a faster quote

  • Container size, weight, and commodity type
  • Terminal, ramp, SSL, or pickup location
  • Last free day, cutoff, or required pickup date
  • Delivery city/ZIP and appointment window
  • Live unload, drop-and-pick, storage, or transload needs

Common questions

What makes a container “heavy”?

A heavy container may require special equipment, route review, or additional planning depending on size, weight, cargo, and destination.

What details are needed for a heavy quote?

Container size, gross weight, cargo type, pickup point, delivery ZIP, appointment timing, and any known scale/permit requirements.

Can heavy drayage connect to transload?

Yes. Some heavy containers may move to a warehouse or transload facility depending on cargo and customer requirements.
