Hight Logistics
Hight is an asset-based drayage carrier running a battery-electric Class 8 fleet from our Long Beach yard.
That operating history matters more than the trucks themselves. We have already worked out where battery-electric performs well, how to plan a load around terminal appointments, range, state of charge and the return trip, and how to hold a schedule when conditions change.
New entrants are still learning those lessons on customer freight.
In-yard charging, Long Beach
Zero-emission drayage on qualified Los Angeles and Long Beach lanes, with EV mileage and emissions reporting your sustainability team can use internally. The reduction is tied to actual truck movements, not an offset purchased elsewhere.
Port drayage runs through the communities along the 710 corridor, West Long Beach and Wilmington. Those neighborhoods carry the air-quality burden of moving freight. Replacing diesel Class 8 trucks with battery-electric ones cuts emissions in the places our trucks pass through daily.
The EV fleet gets attention. The asset-based model is why customers stay. You get direct access to equipment, drivers, dispatch and yard operations, with a clear escalation path instead of a brokered handoff.
The Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach are our anchor. We also support Port Newark and New York / New Jersey drayage, and Oakland where it fits a customer program.
The practical first step is a lane review: port, destination, commodity, volume, equipment, security and timing. From there we identify one or two lanes where electric drayage fits, and prove the service before anything scales.
