Frequently Asked Questions
Can the vessel tracker show individual container status inside a ship?
Vessel Tracker shows vessel-level AIS position, ETA, and berth data. Container-level status depends on the terminal's own tracking system. Use it alongside your TMS or terminal portals for full container visibility.
How current is the port congestion data from Deep Research?
Deep Research synthesizes information from recent news, port authority bulletins, and industry reports. For real-time gate appointment availability, always cross-reference with the terminal's appointment system directly.
Can I use Lead Finder to find owner-operators rather than large carriers?
Yes. Lead Finder can filter by company size, industry, and location. Search for "trucking" or "drayage" companies in a zip code radius and filter for small fleets or individual owner-operators.
How far in advance does the weather forecast tool show conditions?
Weather Forecast provides current conditions plus a 7-day hourly and daily outlook. For port planning, this is typically enough to flag storm windows and plan pre-pulls or rescheduling.
Can these tools help with international drayage or cross-border moves?
Yes. Deep Research can cover cross-border regulatory requirements (e.g., Canadian or Mexican port rules), and Vessel Tracker covers international AIS data. Lead Finder can search carriers in border markets.
