Service • Import & Drayage
Container Unloading, 30 Min from the Ports
20', 40', and 40' HC containers — floor-loaded or palletized — devanned, counted, and put away the same day they arrive at our Vernon, CA warehouse. Coordinated drayage from the Ports of LA and Long Beach included.
Why brands choose Logix for container unloading
We own the warehouse, the WMS, and the team — so the wins flow straight to you, not a broker.
30 Min from the Ports
Vernon, CA location means the lowest drayage costs in the Los Angeles basin.

Planning Container Receiving and Storage
Suitable products and shipments
Suitable for floor-loaded cartons and palletized dry goods in 20-foot and 40-foot containers. Share heavy, oversized, fragile, or mixed-SKU loads in advance so handling requirements can be reviewed.
Operating process
Send the arrival notice, bill of lading, and packing list. Coordinate release and a dock appointment with the team, then unload, verify quantities, document discrepancies, and arrange storage, transloading, or outbound shipment as agreed.
Restrictions and scheduling
We do not accept hazardous, flammable, refrigerated, or frozen cargo. Customs clearance remains with your appointed broker. Terminal release, driver availability, free-time deadlines, and receiving appointments affect timing; no universal same-day completion or demurrage saving is promised.
Information for your quote
Provide container size and count, expected arrival, carton and SKU counts, load type, dimensions and weights, packing list, handling requirements, storage duration, and outbound destinations.
Facility facts and documentation
Receiving takes place at Logix's owned 214,000 sq ft warehouse in Vernon. Operating since 2004 is not a claim of bonded storage, customs authorization, or hazardous-material certification.
