Five boroughs. Three rail terminals. Two ports.
One team that knows which one is right for your freight.
The market
Why New York runs differently.
- 8.7M TEU Port of NY/NJ · 2024
- 1.6M tons JFK air cargo · 2024
- 1.8M per day Packages, five boroughs
Two states. Four terminals. Two railroads. One Manhattan permit calendar.
Every shipment that lands here is a routing decision before it is a delivery. Most providers don't know that. Most providers don't act like it.
NewYork3PL was built around the routing decision — and the operation that delivers it.
What we route
The capability set.
Six headline capabilities. Eleven more in the full inventory. Every one of them built around the same operating posture: pick the right submarket, the right mode, the right dock, the right team — for each specific job.
-
Port drayage & intermodal
Bayonne, Port Newark, Elizabeth, Howland Hook, Red Hook — plus on-dock and near-dock rail via CSX Kearny and Norfolk Southern Newark. Routing decisions made before the box hits the chassis.
-
Multi-borough fulfillment
Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Manhattan, Northern New Jersey — five-plus cost structures and access patterns. The job is matching each shipment to the right one.
-
Customer Adapter
Tailored operational workflow customization. Custom packing, inspection, SLAs, kitting flows — operations that flex to the client's business, not the other way around.
-
Customer Developer
Consultative supply-chain capability development. Lane optimization, multi-DC strategy, peak-season planning, scaling design — strategic-partner work, not transactional 3PL.
-
Cold-chain & high-security
Pharmaceutical chain-of-custody, biotech sample handling, fashion-luxury audit trail, financial-document protection — for freight where integrity matters as much as transit time.
-
Forward staging
Pre-positioning inventory closer to final destination — tighter SLA compliance, faster fulfillment, reduced transit miles. Anticipatory rather than reactive.
What we route
Cargo that dominates the Port of NY/NJ.
Ordered by 2024 throughput. Each category demands operational discipline that doesn't translate between cargo classes — the team that handles vehicles isn't the team that handles reefer, and the routing decisions don't either.
-
Refrigerated cargo (reefer)
#1 US portFresh produce, seafood, pharmaceutical cold-chain, dairy, wine, spirits, and other beverages — temperature-controlled handling from quay to NYC retail, restaurant, distribution, or hospital.
-
Furniture, bedding & home goods
Upholstered seating (+44% YoY), wood furniture, mattresses, home decor — high-cube containerized cargo into a tight NYC delivery footprint.
-
Apparel, textiles & footwear
Seasonal collections, basics, footwear, technical fabrics — sourcing diversification accelerating from China to Vietnam and South Asia.
-
Vehicles & roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro)
Premium European and Japanese passenger autos, growing EV imports from Asia, commercial vehicles and machinery on ro-ro vessels.
-
Machinery & industrial equipment
Industrial machinery, pumps, compressors, semiconductor and aerospace manufacturing equipment, precision tooling.
-
Electronics & precision components
Circuit boards, semiconductors, electric motors, optical and medical instruments, specialized lighting and lighting components.
-
Specialty & multi-category cargo
Plastics and resins (top 3 nationally), building materials and stone, automotive parts, toys and sporting goods, specialty chemicals, agricultural commodities, and project cargo requiring custom routing.
