Drayage

Drayage refers to the transport of goods over short distances within the shipping and logistics industries. It plays a pivotal role in connecting different modes of shipping, such as ocean freight or air freight, to their final destinations. Imagine a container arriving at a port – drayage ensures that it reaches its intended location efficiently.

Importance of Drayage

Drayage might seem like a small piece of the supply chain puzzle, but it’s essential. Here’s why:

Bridge Between Modes

Drayage acts as a bridge, seamlessly connecting ocean ports, rail ramps, and shipping docks. It ensures that cargo smoothly transitions from one mode of transportation to another.

Efficient Last-Mile Delivery

Whether it’s from a ship to a warehouse or within a large building like a convention center, drayage ensures efficient last-mile delivery. It’s the final leg of the journey that matters.
