Choosing a trucking company
Who are the trucking companies on Oʻahu, and how do you choose one?
Oʻahu trucking companies range from owner-operators with one truck to full logistics firms with port, warehouse and special-handling services. Match the company to your load before you compare prices:
01Equipment
Container drayage needs a chassis-capable tractor for port pickups. Flatbed and drop-deck loads need flatbed trailers. Refrigerated freight needs reefer trucks. Preferred runs dry box trucks, refrigerated trucks, flatbeds, lift-gate vehicles, forklift-equipped trucks and semi trucks.
02Port experience
Ask how the company handles container pickup and return at the Port of Honolulu, which is run by the Hawaii Department of Transportation Harbors Division.
03Registration and insurance
Ask for the carrier’s USDOT number and insurance certificate, then check both in the FMCSA’s SAFER system at safer.fmcsa.dot.gov.
04Delivery type
Confirm whether the company offers inside delivery, lift-gate drop-off and military base delivery, since these are often extra charges.
