Drop-trailer programs maintain a customer-dedicated 53-foot trailer on-site; we swap full-for-empty on a scheduled 24/48/72-hour rotation; preferred for high-throughput dock operations.

Customer use case

Aerospace component manufacturers (Brevard, Pinellas counties) use ISPM-15 export crates for international supplier shipments; build-to-print specs include foam-lined interiors and humidity-control packets.

Lumber sourcing prioritizes regional Southeast US hardwood mills (FL, AL, GA, MS); reduces transport carbon vs Pacific Northwest stock; supports regional logging economies.
