Big News from Oakland Container Trucking
Oakland Container Trucking is opening a new state of the art facility inside the Heavyweight Corridor in Oakland. The site is designed to support heavy, oversize, and high‑throughput container operations for customers using the Port of Oakland.
This expansion gives shippers a secure, high‑capacity hub for containers, project cargo, and time‑critical freight that need both yard space and modern warehouse infrastructure.
Inside the New Heavyweight Corridor Facility
The new location combines a 2.5‑acre secure yard with a 35,000 square foot warehouse dedicated to heavy container cross‑docking, transloading, and storage. Operations at the facility are expected to reach full capacity by the end of February, giving customers more room to maneuver during peak periods.
Key characteristics include:
-
Secure yard for staging heavy and oversize containers
-
Large indoor area for cross‑dock and transloading activity
-
Layout tailored to support higher volumes and faster turns
Note: Yard and warehouse size, utilization, and capacity timelines are subject to change.
