Container Drayage for Plastics and Resin Imports in Miami

Container Drayage for Plastics and Resin Imports in Miami

South Florida’s plastics manufacturing sector imports substantial volumes of plastic resins, pellets, and raw materials through PortMiami and Port Everglades. These dense materials present weight challenges for container drayage carriers.

Weight Considerations

Plastic resins are dense — a full 20′ container of PE or PP pellets can weigh 40,000-44,000 lbs. While not always exceeding weight limits, they often come close. Proper weight verification before dispatch prevents DOT issues and ensures the right equipment is assigned.

Bulk vs Bagged vs Gaylord

Resins arrive in different packaging: bulk bags (super sacks), 50-lb bags on pallets, or gaylord boxes. Each requires different unloading equipment at your warehouse or manufacturing plant. Go Freight coordinates delivery timing with your receiving team’s equipment availability.

Manufacturing Plant Delivery

Many plastics containers go directly to manufacturing plants with specific receiving requirements — silo loading for bulk resins, dock-height delivery for palletized bags, or ground-level access for forklifts. Our drivers know the plant delivery procedures for major Miami-area manufacturers.
