JFK Paperwork Checklist
Have this ready and we pick up with no issues
The fastest JFK pickups happen when the paperwork is right the first time. Before we dispatch, make sure you have:
- Bill of lading (BOL) / airway bill details, complete and accurate
- Delivery order, complete and accurate
- Release letters from the right party, complete and accurate
- The cargo facility and pickup reference for the shipment
- Delivery address, contact and your time window
Not sure if your documents are right? Call 646-623-7995 and we'll walk through them with you before the truck is sent.

Many JFK delays start before a truck ever arrives. When freight is handled through brokers or third parties, documents are sometimes incomplete or filled out incorrectly. The cargo terminal can't release the freight, it sits, and crate storage fees and delays start adding up. Those costs are avoidable.
We know JFK shipments
Handling JFK freight takes knowledge and experience, and we have both. As a direct carrier we deal with your shipment ourselves, so you get a clear answer on what is needed instead of a runaround between brokers.
Same-day delivery from JFK
Once the paperwork is in order and the freight is released, we can pick up and deliver the same day across NYC, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. We run a 26ft box truck equipped with a liftgate and pallet jack, so loads can be picked up and delivered even where there is no loading dock.
Already stuck with a broker?
If your freight is delayed or racking up storage because the paperwork isn't right, call us. We can tell you what the terminal needs, and once it is complete we handle the pickup. Many customers switch to a direct carrier after a bad JFK experience.
