Fast Lane launches new loaded container storage service
Fast Lane Transportation has launched a new service that offers secure overnight load storage on a twelve-acre site in Wilmington, California, just half a mile from the Los Angeles/ Long Beach harbours. The new service will serve truckers, freight forwarders and steamship lines by providing a safe and secure facility with guard-protected, gated entry and a secure perimeter for drivers and loaded containers. "Cargo theft, particularly in these difficult economic times, is on the rise and our industry needs alternatives to protect their customer’s freight," said Patrick Wilson, president of Fast Lane Transportation. The service operates 24/7 to offer truckers immediate access to their cargo. The company maintains and operates digital security cameras with night monitoring, along with a generator backup for all security and lighting. A driver may remain with the load, since some insurance companies require truckers to stay with trailers to the final destination. With the Port of Los Angeles‘ Clean Truck Program proposal requiring licensed motor carriers to comply with off-street parking provisions, Fast Lane is already in compliance. Fast Lane Transportation also operates an eighty-acre intermodal cross-dock and equipment depot in Adelanto, California, for medium- to long-term equipment storage. This facility’s proximity to San Bernardino and relatively inexpensive storage fees makes the site ideal compared to locations closer to the ports for long-term storage. The company also operates a fifty-acre facility in Wilmington, just one mile from the Intermodal Container Transfer facility, for equipment storage, repair, sales and trucking services. Fast Lane’s Oakland depot is only four miles from the piers, with direct access to the main freeways leading to I-5. Quelle: eyefortransport Portal: www.logistik-express.com |
