Cargo Services & Load Handling
24/7 Cargo Recovery & Load Handling for Freight Problems
When freight shifts, trailers become unstable, or a breakdown interrupts a delivery, recovering the truck is only part of the job.Â
Columbia Fleet Service provides cargo recovery and load handling services for owner-operators, fleet managers, dispatchers, and logistics companies throughout Central Maryland and the Baltimore-Washington metro area.
Our fleet includes heavy-duty wreckers, road tractors, a Landoll trailer, mobile service trucks, and the equipment needed to stabilize loads, transfer freight, reposition trailers, and support complex recovery operations. Whether the issue is a rollover, shifted cargo, or a disabled tractor, we’ll help get the load safely back in motion.

Load Handling & Cargo Support Services
Columbia Fleet Service provides cargo-handling services for breakdowns, recovery operations, and planned freight transfers.
Load Shift Correction
Shifted freight can make a trailer unsafe to operate. We reposition and stabilize loads so freight can be safely transported or transferred.
Load Transfers & Trailer Swaps
When a tractor or trailer can't continue the trip, we coordinate transfers and trailer swaps to keep freight moving toward its destination.
Cargo Off-Loading & Reloading
We unload, transfer, and reload cargo when damaged equipment, recovery operations, or delivery issues prevent normal transportation.
Forklift & Equipment Support
Material handling equipment is available to assist with freight transfers, trailer unloading, cargo repositioning, and recovery operations.
