Drayage is a term utilized by the shipping and logistics sector, typically it is the process of transporting goods over short distances.While it can be used for minor transporting of goods, usually it is confined to use by the container shipping industry.

Drayage can include:

• Trucking of containerized cargo from port to port
• The cargo might be taken from a port to a rail yard to begin the next leg of its journey
• The cargo may be trucked to its ultimate location

No matter your drayage needs, we have the solution. We offer a variety of options with the highest level of service. Drayage can be split into the following categories:

Inter-carrier drayage – The movement of units over a short distance between different carriers, such as with trucking and railroad stations.

Expedited drayage – Units are transported over the road in a quick and efficient manner for time-sensitive material goods.

Intra-carrier drayage – Similar to that of inter-carrier, intra-carrier takes freight from a rail hub to an inter-modal hub, all controlled by the same carrier.

Door-to-door drayage – Retail units are taken to a customer through roadways.

Shuttle drayage – An inter-modal unit is temporarily taken to a parking lot from its hub of origin, with this method being used for both loaded and empty units when overcrowding in the hub occurs.

Pier drayage – Utilizing roadways, take an inter-modal unit to a dock or pier from a previous rail hub.
