Overview
Most shippers never think about drayage. Not until a container gets stuck. By then, a customer delivery is already late. A production line is waiting on parts. And someone is asking why a “short truck move” turned into a three-day problem.
This paper covers what drayage actually is, the different types of drayage, and how drayage services fit into the bigger supply chain. We’ll walk through the five main types of drayage moves, and how different industries use drayage day to day. We’ll also cover how to pick the right drayage company, and the mistakes that turn a routine container move into an expensive delay. We’re not trying to sell you anything here. We just want you to make a smarter call the next time a container is sitting at a terminal with the clock running.
