Door to Port Transport – We make it happen!
Door to Port Transport specializes in Intermodal container services for the ports of Jacksonville, FL and the Caribbean, to and from any destination in the Southeastern United States. We have long-standing relationships with terminal operators at the ports who help expedite your products from supplier-to-port or port to their final destination. Our logistics coordinator determines the best mode of intermodal transportation to move your container in the most cost-efficient and cost-effective manner possible.
Not your average trucking service. We deliver the goods!
Intermodal capable trucks are generally used to connect a container from ocean to rail or warehouse. These specialized trucks run between ocean ports, rail terminals, and inland shipping docks; however, there are times when trucks are primarily used in the movement of containers. Door to Port Transport maintains a fleet of trucks capable of transporting cargo containers short distances or to destinations across the United States.

Items of extraordinary value such as jewelry, money, antiques, and stamp collections
can be included in your shipment, provided that you notify your local moving representative
of these items before packing and moving day. It is strongly recommended that you carry
irreplaceable and expensive articles with you, or make alternate arrangements for their
transport.
In the moving industry, items worth more than $100 per pound are considered to be articles
of "extraordinary value.” To be assured that a claim involving these articles is not limited
to minimal liability, complete and sign your mover's high-value inventory form.
Also, be sure to sign the "Extraordinary Value Article Declaration" box, if applicable, on
your Bill of Lading.
Each mover has a slightly different procedure to follow as it relates to high-value items.
Ask your relocation specialist to provide you with an explanation of their company's process.
This is a confusing (but important) task, so be sure that you clearly understand the rules
prior to load day.
Appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators must be disconnected, and the washer
must have a stabilizer installed. Again, your estimator can help you understand how these
items are properly serviced. All local moving companies have business relationships with
local service providers that handle this type of service, however full service moving
companies and national moving companies will also be able to provide all of the moving
services you require. Be sure you know who your mover will be using, as you will need to let
these people into your home to provide the service.
