Manufacturing freight, engineered for what you actually move.
FCL for raw materials, OOG and flat rack for machinery, breakbulk for large-frame equipment, and project cargo engineering for everything that will not fit in a standard box.
Lanes we run for manufacturing
Shanghai to Houston in 28 days. Direct contracts on the corridors your cargo actually moves on.

OOG, flat rack, breakbulk
From a 5-ton mold to a 180-foot wind blade. Lift plans, load calcs, and port crane bookings before the vessel arrives.
Raw material FCL programs
Weekly or monthly contract space for steel, aluminum, resin, and bulk commodities. Priced per TEU, not per spot quote.
Drayage and rail intermodal
Chassis provisioning, transloading, and US rail moves into the Midwest, Southeast, and Texas industrial belts.
Section 232 and 301 specialist
Steel and aluminum Section 232, China Section 301, and tariff mitigation baked into every quote.
The difference on your freight
Not just a booking agent
Gateway engineers routes, load plans, and customs before a PO is cut. Not after the container is already stuck.
Plant-to-plant visibility
Every raw material container tracked from origin stuffing to the bay door at your plant.
Capacity when the market tightens
Direct carrier contracts mean you get space when spot rates spike. Not rolled, not delayed.
“Our previous forwarder priced a spot rate and rolled our container. Gateway has a contract and we ship on schedule.
