What ContainerTransport does

Container Transport is a Jacksonville, Florida-based logistics broker specializing in container transportation across all 50 U.S. states, Canada, and Mexico. Operating as a division of the family-owned Nationwide Transport Services, LLC (founded 2012), the company runs an asset-light brokerage model providing access to a network of 30,000+ trucks through which it coordinates container moves for businesses, individuals relocating household goods, and federal government agencies under its GSA certification. The service portfolio spans core container moving, intermodal transport, expedited shipping, overweight container handling, bulk and project cargo, household goods relocation, government transport, rail freight, and port drayage, supported by specialized offerings such as TWIC escort, side-loader lifting, disaster recovery logistics, and business credit lines. Technology is limited to real-time shipment tracking and online quote forms, with no disclosed AI/ML, API, or platform integrations.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led, centered on a toll-free 800 number, multi-step website quote forms, and content marketing through a blog and learning center, with 120+ dedicated logistics agents assigned to customers to manage end-to-end shipment coordination. Revenue is generated primarily through per-mile transactional pricing ranging from $2.45 to $3.75 depending on trailer type (Flatbed, Landoll, Lowboy, Container Trailer, Side Lifter, Stepdeck, RGN, Gooseneck), with regional rates across the East Coast, West Coast, Midwest, South, Mountain States, New England, and Pacific Northwest typically at $2.95–$3.10 per mile. Supplementary revenue streams include expedited shipping premiums, customs clearance services, and credit line facilities for B2B clients. The customer base is hybrid and long-tailed, with disclosed references skewed toward individual and SMB shippers and no named enterprise anchor accounts, indicating a low customer concentration profile.

Emerging players

• Flexport: Flexport is a digital freight forwarder offering ocean, air, and trucking services for international container shipping. Comparable on the international container coordination and customs clearance side of Container Transport's business.
• DrayNow: DrayNow is a digital drayage marketplace connecting shippers with container truckers, focused on port and rail drayage. Closest direct competitor to Container Transport's drayage service in terms of model, with technology-first positioning as a differentiator.
• Transfix: Transfix is a digital freight brokerage focused on full truckload with technology-driven matching. While more truckload-focused than container-drayage, it competes for similar freight dollars with a tech-enabled asset-light model.
• COOP Logistics: COOP is a container trucking marketplace focused on matching owner-operators with port and rail drayage loads. Highly comparable to Container Transport's asset-light drayage model but with a tech-platform orientation.

Broad incumbents

• Hub Group: Hub Group is one of the largest North American intermodal and logistics providers, operating drayage, container trucking, and dedicated freight services. Highly comparable to Container Transport's intermodal drayage model but at significantly greater scale with proprietary terminal operations and intermodal containers.
• Schneider National: Schneider operates a major intermodal container division with port drayage, rail, and truckload services. Comparable to Container Transport on intermodal drayage but Schneider runs an owned chassis fleet and has dedicated rail relationships, providing scale advantages.
• XPO (formerly XPO Logistics): XPO operates a major North American LTL and brokerage business with intermodal and last-mile services. Competes with Container Transport on intermodal drayage and freight brokerage at significantly larger scale.
• Landstar System: Landstar is an asset-light freight transportation and logistics provider using a network of independent owner-operators and agents. Directly comparable to Container Transport's asset-light, agent-supported, network-based model but at much larger scale.
• J.B. Hunt Transport Services: J.B. Hunt operates one of the largest U.S. intermodal container fleets, including drayage, truckload, and dedicated services. Overlaps directly with Container Transport's intermodal/container drayage offerings but with owned containers, owned chassis, and rail partnerships with BNSF and Norfolk Southern.
• Echo Global Logistics: Echo is a non-asset-based freight brokerage offering truckload, intermodal, and drayage services through a technology platform. Comparable asset-light brokerage model serving similar shipper segments.
