Specialized Drayage Services
ACE provides a full range of Specialized Drayage Services designed for cargo and container types that require additional expertise, regulatory compliance, and enhanced handling procedures. From out-of-standard equipment to high-value commodities and regulated shipments, our team delivers the precision, safety, and reliability needed to manage specialized freight efficiently. With trained drivers, strict safety protocols, high-security processes, and advanced operational oversight, ACE ensures that each specialized container movement is executed with the highest level of care.
Flat Rack & Open Top Drayage
ACE offers dedicated drayage services for Flat Rack and Open Top containers that are commonly used for transporting large machinery, industrial equipment, construction materials, and commodities that require top or side loading. Our drivers are specifically trained to inspect and secure these unique cargo types throughout transit, ensuring proper tie-downs, securement, and load stability.
We handle In-Gauge (IG) cargo only, allowing us to maintain compliance while delivering safe and dependable service. Due to limited free days provided by steamship lines, time sensitivity is crucial; ACE prioritizes fast, efficient coordination to avoid per-diem fees and protect your bottom line. From pickup to final delivery, we manage the process with urgency and attention to detail.
Alcohol Drayage
ACE is fully licensed by the New Jersey Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) to transport and store Full-Container-Load alcohol shipments. This authority allows us to legally manage beer, wine, spirits, and other regulated beverages through the NY/NJ ports.
Our secure container facility features a 7,000V electrified perimeter, automated gate control, and 24/7 monitoring, providing maximum protection for alcohol cargo, which is considered a high-theft commodity. ACE has extensive experience moving alcohol shipments safely to local distribution centers or directly to consignees, maintaining strict chain-of-custody practices throughout the journey.
Bonded Drayage
ACE provides reliable Bonded Drayage services for FCL containers requiring movement under U.S. Customs & Border Protection (CBP) bond. As a fully authorized bonded carrier, ACE holds the required CBP bond and has all necessary authorities to transport bonded shipments from the NY/NJ ports to any bonded warehouse facility—whether local or long-haul OTR.
Bonded cargo receives elevated security throughout transit. Our procedures include limited en-route stops, use of secure truck stop facilities, and periodic equipment and seal inspections to ensure cargo integrity. ACE manages all bonded requirements on behalf of our clients, including proper handling, documentation accuracy, and compliance with duty and tax obligations. With ACE, shipments remain compliant and protected from port to destination.
