Courtesy Transfer Inc

We’re a family company founded in 1981.
William and David Miller founded Courtesy Transfer Inc. in 1981 to provide courteous and professional container trucking at reasonable rates. Since then, we have been providing container trucking, roll-offs, dumpsters, drayage, and intermodal transfer throughout Metro-Detroit, Southeast Michigan, Northern Ohio, Windsor, and Ontario. We even have a Detroit certified truck scale that is open to the public.

Today, as Amanda and Nathan Miller take over this family legacy, we are still proud to be a family-owned trucking company providing container drayage service and roll-back on/off ground pickup and delivery. We can provide a truck and driver to pull all types of chassis and containers.

We’ve come a long way over the years. In fact, that was a picture of one of our old trucks off of our old, old website over there. As the years have gone on, and our experience and knowledge has grown, our technology has too. From our state-of-the-art computer system with full tracking system to our constantly maintained and inspected trucks and chassis, we are the #1 choice in Michigan. We even offer online submission of jobs and truck scale services.

Our customers are important to us. We aim to please on every job and every run. Contact us today and let us show you why once you work with Courtesy Transfer, you never shop around again.

Detroit dumpsters can be rented for your residential or commercial needs quickly and easily, at prices lower than other Detroit dumpster rental companies. When you rent one of our roll-off dumpsters, use it for your garage, house, building, demolition, or other needs. Our dumpsters are perfect for the removal of demolition debris, remodeling debris, yard waste and brush, estate and large clean-up projects, metal and cardboard, construction and residential site clean-up, and almost any project you may have.

You name it, we can haul it. From household trash and yard waste, to construction debris, our Detroit dumpsters and trash disposal service are here for you. Rest easy knowing that once you rent one of our Detroit dumpsters, anytime you ever need one again, you’ll never need to look elsewhere. Rent a dumpster in Detroit in a range of sizes: 20, 30, 40, 50, and 80 yards.

We are proud to say that we are a local, family-owned company that has been in business since 1981. We are a not an internet brokerage company like most of those you’ll find online. All of our employees care about Detroit and your needs within it. You are important to us, and not simply a commission. Whether you need a rolloff container, container transport, drayage, or intermodal transport, we’re here for you.

Intermodal Transport
Intermodal transport is how freight or cargo is transported using multiple methods such as ship, rail, and truck, without ever being handled. The cargo is secured inside of an intermodal container, which is a large standardized metal shipping container. These containers are designed and built specifically for intermodal transport, as they are able to be stored and stacked like blocks, and can easily attach to a specialized trailer, train car, or onto a ship.

With container trucking, cargo handling is almost completely nonexistent. Once the cargo is loaded into a container, it isn’t touched again until it reaches its destination. Because of this, container intermodal transport is secure, reduces damage and loss, and allows cargo and freight to be moved significantly faster. Container trucking is generally the final stage of intermodal freight transport, and it’s one of our specialties.

Drayage
In intermodal freight transport, drayage is the transport of containerized cargo by specialized trucking companies between ocean ports or rail ramps and shipping docks. (Wikipedia)

Drayage is one of our specialties, and is the transport of goods over a short distance, which in our case means intermodal containers. We pickup the containers and deliver them where needed, whether they start or end at a ship port, train terminal, warehouse, or somewhere in between. Typically, we run drayage of containers coming into and leaving the United States out of the Port of Detroit.
