From port to final mile, Averitt brings five service units – and one aligned team – to every shipment in and out of Houston.
Houston demands capacity. Our service center is equipped with 106 dock doors to handle the heavy freight volumes this market generates – keeping your shipments moving without the bottlenecks that slow down less-prepared operations.
Whether it's high-frequency LTL pickups, large distribution runs, or time-sensitive freight that can't afford to wait, our Houston facility is sized and staffed to deliver.
Our 250,000-square-foot Distribution & Fulfillment Center sits less than five miles from both Bayport and Barbours Cut container terminals – putting your freight in the right position the moment it hits the dock.
That proximity isn't just convenient. It's cost-saving. Faster container handoffs mean less exposure to demurrage and detention charges, fewer delays, and a smoother transition from international to domestic freight.
Inside, we offer secure warehousing, inventory management, pick and pack, and integrated LTL and truckload transportation – everything you need to stage, store, and ship from a single location.
The Port of Houston is one of the busiest in the nation, and the complexity that comes with it is real. Missed appointments, congested terminals, and slow container handoffs can derail a shipment before it ever hits the highway.
Averitt's PortSide® Services are built around Barbours Cut and Bayport – giving shippers a faster, more reliable path from the water to their customers.
Drayage Asset-based container movement from the terminal to your next destination – on time, with the accountability that comes from using our own equipment and drivers.
Transloading Quick, efficient transfer from ocean containers to over-the-road trailers – reducing empty miles, cutting dwell time, and setting up cleaner inland routing.
