COMMON QUESTIONS

What is drayage?

Drayage is the short-haul movement of a shipping container from a port or rail terminal to a nearby warehouse, distribution center, or final destination.

How do you avoid demurrage and per-diem fees?

We monitor free-time windows and schedule pickups promptly, coordinating terminal appointments so containers move before storage and per-diem charges accrue.

Do you handle port and rail-ramp pickups?

Yes. We work with port-credentialed carriers for both ocean terminals and intermodal rail ramps.

When do I need drayage?

Any time you import via ocean or receive intermodal containers and need them moved from the terminal to your facility.
