C&K Trucking expands to the West Coast with new locations

C&K Trucking, a nationwide drayage trucking company serving importers and shippers, announces the opening of two new terminals to serve the West Coast: Los Angeles and Seattle. The expansion is made possible with increased chassis and contractor capacity from Pacific Green Trucking, which C&K Trucking acquired in late 2023.

“This is great news for anyone who needs drayage operations on the West Coast,” said Sean McShane, president of C&K Holdings. “Pacific Green has a well-established reputation for excellence and is set to grow with us in the area. With our added infrastructure, we can expedite drayage from the ports to the rail ramps or to the distribution centers.”

Pacific Green operates more than 120 trucks and is rapidly adding more to its fleet to provide increased capacity for C&K Trucking customers. Pacific Green is also a leader in renewable natural gas (RNG) powered trucks and is dedicated to reducing carbon emissions and improving air quality in California.

C&K Trucking’s new Los Angeles terminal was announced in December and is located at 512 East C Street, Wilmington, California. The terminal serves the San Pedro complex, which includes the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. Together, the two ports handle 29 percent of the containerized trade to the U.S.

The Seattle location was opened in January 2023 at 4901 Airport Way South, within three miles of all Seattle terminals and ports. The location also serves the Tacoma area. The terminal is adjacent to the Union Pacific and Burlington Northern rail ramps, facilitating efficient drayage service to the distribution centers via nearby I-5 and I-405.

C&K Trucking’s plan for geographic expansion responds well to the changing economic landscape for importers and exporters. “In today’s volatile shipping environment, a greater nationwide presence offers an opportunity for better distribution,” said McShane.

In 2023 C&K Trucking also opened a terminal in New Orleans, which is planning a new international terminal at the Port of New Orleans in 2028. The company also has plans to open more terminals in locations such as Detroit and Minneapolis to bolster their current network of 21 locations.
