For Chinese manufacturers and exporters
The Driver Link is designed for businesses shipping their own goods. After direct-shipper verification, eligible shippers can post U.S. inland loads without a shipper subscription.
China-to-U.S. import freight
Shipping freight from China to the United States?
For Chinese manufacturers and direct exporters sending cargo to U.S. buyers, ocean transportation is only one part of the supply chain. Once imported freight is cleared and ready for pickup at a U.S. port, a carrier may be needed to deliver it to an American warehouse, distributor or factory.
简体中文Direct shippers and manufacturers must complete business verification before posting. Carrier eligibility and availability vary. The Driver Link is not a freight broker or an ocean shipping line.
Direct carrier connections after your U.S. import arrives
Port pickup and inland trucking
Provide U.S. pickup and delivery locations, cargo dimensions, equipment requirements, customs-release status and appointment details. The responsible U.S. importer or agent must coordinate release and terminal rules.
No broker between the cargo owner and trucking carrier
Participating verified U.S. motor carriers can request a suitable posting. The shipping party and carrier can discuss the rate and conditions directly. The Driver Link is not an ocean carrier or customs broker.
Questions shippers often ask
Does The Driver Link book ocean freight from China?
No. Our focus is the U.S. inland motor-carrier leg after port arrival and cargo release.
Can Chinese manufacturers register?
Eligible manufacturers and direct shippers may apply for manual verification. Whether they control U.S. delivery depends on their contractual shipping terms.
Do you guarantee a truck at the port?
No. Truck availability, operating authority and equipment vary by route and participating carrier.
