Case Overview
At Welltrans Logistics, we recently managed a successful shipping operation for a trailer from Qingdao, China to Savannah, USA, showcasing our expertise in overcoming logistical challenges. This case study, updated as of May 13, 2025, highlights our commitment to delivering tailored solutions for shipping from China to the USA. Our team tackled unique hurdles, including oversized cargo and limited space availability, ensuring the shipment was completed efficiently with the support of carrier OOCL. Read on to discover how we turned a complex task into a smooth process.

Challenges Encountered
Initially, securing shipping space proved difficult. All carriers, including OOCL, reported a lack of available cabins due to high demand on May 13, 2025. This posed a significant risk of delaying the shipment, which could impact the client’s delivery schedule. The oversized dimensions of the trailer added complexity, as special handling and compliance with US port regulations were necessary to avoid penalties or rejection at Savannah.

Solutions Provided
Our dedicated team at Welltrans Logistics sprang into action. We engaged in intensive negotiations with OOCL, leveraging our strong partnership to secure a Shipping Order (S/O) within just 24 hours. By the afternoon of May 14, 2025, we successfully arranged container loading, ensuring a smooth operation.
To address the oversized cargo issue, we designed a custom rain cover and reinforced the trailer with additional securing measures. Using our export credentials, we handled buyer’s customs declaration, streamlining the process and ensuring compliance with both Chinese and US regulations.
Results
Thanks to our proactive approach, the trailer was loaded on schedule on May 13, 2025, with an ETD of May 18, 2025. The shipment is now on track for timely delivery to Savannah, meeting the client’s expectations without delays.
This case demonstrates Welltrans Logistics’ ability to overcome space constraints and handle oversized cargo, reinforcing our reputation as a reliable partner for shipping from China to the USA.
