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.
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.
The Heavyweight Corridor facility is tailored to freight that pushes past standard weights and dimensions. OCT positions this site for:
Overweight containers that require specialized handling
Oversized and project cargo with unique staging needs
Time‑critical moves that benefit from close proximity and efficient turns
By combining secure outdoor space with substantial warehouse capacity, OCT provides a single point where demanding loads can be received, processed, and dispatched with tighter control.
Note: Service offerings and handling capabilities for specific cargo types are subject to change.
To support customers moving into the new facility, OCT is offering an all‑in rate for live cross‑dock of 650 dollars per container. The offer covers palletized loads up to 20 pallets per container.
Drayage and chassis costs are included, with a minimum weekly volume requirement of 15 containers for this program.
Note: All pricing, inclusions, and minimum volume requirements are subject to change.
The Heavyweight Corridor location extends OCT’s lineup of special services that support complex freight at the Port of Oakland.
Heavy machinery transloading is available for large equipment that demands careful lifting, securement, and staging between vessel, rail, and truck. The new facility’s yard and warehouse areas are set up to keep this work safe and efficient.
Note: Heavy machinery handling processes, equipment availability, and timelines are subject to change.
OCT offers container insulation services and OOG crate transloading for shipments that require attention to both temperature and dimensions. Insulated containers and out‑of‑gauge crates are handled with procedures that respect these constraints at each step.
Note: Container insulation and OOG crate handling methods, capacity, and service options are subject to change.
Additional capabilities at the site include:
Coils and reels transloading for industrial cargo
HazMat and OOG drayage for regulated and oversized loads
Specialty cargo handling for project freight that does not fit standard container profiles
These services use the secure yard and warehouse to support complex moves from arrival through final dispatch.
Note: Coils, reels, HazMat/OOG drayage, and specialty cargo capabilities are subject to change.
Alongside specialized solutions, OCT continues to provide a full set of core services that connect the Port of Oakland with inland markets.
OCT’s drayage services include:
Port and rail ISO tank and HazMat loads
Rentals, prepull, and storage
