Transloading

What transloading solves

When the trailer the freight came on can't finish the trip.

A container hits the port, but your delivery is two states inland. A flatbed shows up with a load that can't unload at the customer's dock. A van loaded in California needs to finish on a hotshot to make a Friday deadline. That's transloading — and we do it at our Lilburn dock the same day.

Common mode changes

Container to van, flatbed to pup, van to hotshot.

• Container → Dry VanPort-to-inland deliveries when the container can't go to the dock.
• Container → FlatbedIndustrial freight unboxed at the dock and re-secured for open-deck transport.
• Flatbed → Dry VanWeather-sensitive freight switched to enclosed for the last leg.
• Flatbed → Pup TrailerSplitting a full flatbed for jobsite access constraints.
• Dry Van → HotshotLate-stage expediting when a deadline tightens.
• Multi-mode splitsOne inbound, multiple outbound — different destinations, different trailers.

Why Comet for transloading

One Atlanta dock. One team. Every paperwork format.

We've been the transload everyone-else-calls since 1970. Same-day mode changes, cargo-specific securement (chains, straps, banding, shrink-wrap), POD reissue, and clean weight tickets. When disaster strikes, we're already on the dock.
