Bonded / in-bond freight
Bonded in-bond trucking for the port-inbound leg.
Scheduled in-bond / bonded cross-border trucking that moves freight off congested ports under in-bond (IT/T&E) status — before it dwells. Your asset-based carrier partner for the port-inbound leg, hauling under your bond work.
Built for US freight forwarders & licensed customs brokers. You own the customer and the carrier selection — we’re the asset-based truck under your bond work, never a competitor for your account.
Credentials
The credentials your bond work runs on.
Every in-bond move rides on FAST-approved equipment and a CBP custodial bond, with ACE in-bond e-filing end to end — the program memberships and bond authority brokers expect from a carrier partner.

The handoff
In-bond shouldn’t be scary.
A container under bond, a seal you’re responsible for, and a dwell clock running against you — that’s a lot to carry. Hand the port-inbound leg to an asset-based bonded carrier and the pressure becomes routine: picked up under your bond work, sealed, accounted for, and cleared off the terminal.
- Moved under in-bond (IT/T&E) status before dwell and demurrage build
- One carrier, one seal, accounted for end to end
- You keep the customer and the bond — we’re just the truck
Pressure on the broker. Routine for the truck.
What we do
In-bond moves, off the port and onward.
From the bonded port-inbound leg to onward line-haul under in-bond status — the asset-based truck behind your IT and T&E work.
Immediate Transportation
Move freight off the port under IT status to an inland CBP port for clearance — before dwell and demurrage build.
Transportation & Exportation
Carry bonded merchandise across the country for export under T&E, sealed and accounted for the whole way.
Bonded drayage
FAST-team drayage to pull containers off congested terminals and clear them off-port under bond.
In-bond line-haul
Long-haul the in-bond leg to inland ramps and destinations on our own equipment — one carrier, one seal.
Bonded lanes
Where we run in-bond.
Scheduled bonded capacity on the gateway lanes where forwarders and brokers fight congestion and the dwell clock.
Port of NY/NJ
Newark / Elizabeth
Off-port drayage and line-haul out of the Newark/Elizabeth marine terminals, clearing boxes off the East Coast’s busiest gateway under bond.
LA / Long Beach
San Pedro Bay
San Pedro Bay drayage and onward in-bond line-haul, pulling containers off the LA/Long Beach complex before the dwell clock runs.
Canadian Gateway
Vancouver / Prince Rupert
Vancouver and Prince Rupert inbound via the CN Chicago ramp, then in-bond to the US Midwest and Northeast — a West Coast alternative around port congestion.
Chicago rail-ramp
Inland gateway
In-bond drayage off the Chicago rail ramps plus line-haul onward — closing the loop on intermodal boxes routed through the inland gateway.
Why Transam
The asset-based truck behind your bond.

We move your in-bond freight on our own equipment, with two-driver FAST teams for the long port-inbound legs.
Scheduled capacity
Planned bonded capacity to pull freight off the terminal and clear it before dwell and demurrage take hold.
Customs-literate dispatch
Dispatchers who speak IT, T&E, PARS and PAPS, and keep your in-bond paperwork and seals straight on every leg.
Congestion relief
Extra trucks aimed at the gateway choke points, so your boxes keep moving when the terminals back up.
