Why Ocean Carriers Choose Mark-it Express
Ocean carrier lines need drayage partners who understand that every day counts – for equipment utilization, per diem management, and customer satisfaction. But more importantly, you need a partner who sees the opportunities your own internal teams often miss: the synergies between your import and export operations hiding in plain sight.
We Connect Your Disconnected Operations
We’ve noticed something your import and export teams might not share with each other: they’re often serving the same customers in the same geographic areas. While your departments operate in separate silos, we see the complete picture. We actively identify street turn and matchback opportunities that can turn two separate transactions into one efficient move, saving everyone money and equipment cycles.
Scale With Independent Flexibility
As an independent intermodal specialist, we deliver:
- Asset-based operations across multiple strategic markets
- 24/7 operations designed around vessel and rail schedules
- Bonded carrier status for complex in-bond movements
- Hazmat-certified capabilities for specialized cargo
- Multi-terminal flexibility to shift resources where needed
The Mark-it Express Difference for Ocean Carrier OCCs:
- Cross-functional visibility that connects your internal silos
- Ownership involvement in strategic planning and real-time problem resolution
- Transparent pricing with no hidden accessorial surprises
- Active synergy identification between your import and export volumes
- Direct executive access for decisions that can’t wait for committee approval
