Heavy Weight Transport, Inc.OUR STORIES AND EXPERIENCES

Established in 1983, Inter-Metro Freight, Inc. understands the transportation/shipping industry and is an innovative leader in providing cost effective shipping solutions. We started as an in-house trucking company for one of our affiliate companies draying wine and spirits, but quickly outgrew this capacity. With a dedicated and dynamic sales team and marketing strategy, our market grew to offering our services to freight forwarders, steamship lines, custom brokers, importers, exporters and freight brokers. Using this innovative approach allowed us to grow exponentially into what we are today.

In 2001, the State of New Jersey adopted a law, allowing the transportation of Sealed Heavy Weight Ocean Borne Containers. Shortly after this law passed, we designed and purchased our own specialized chassis and tractors. This has given our customer base the opportunity to increase cargo weight and decrease container volume and the associated shipping costs. It wasn’t long before we took this model national and expanded to have a much larger footprint. Currently, we have operations in; Long Beach, CA; Savannah, GA; Charleston, SC; Elizabeth, NJ; Edison, NJ; Houston, TX and Cookeville, TN!
