Benefits of Drayage Shipping One of the key advantages is the time it saves. By eliminating the need for long-haul trucks to travel directly to and from ports, drayage significantly reduces transportation time, enhancing the overall speed of the logistics process. In addition, drayage helps optimize transportation costs. It ensures that containers are swiftly offloaded and made available for other shipments, reducing the risk of container detention charges.

The Process of Drayage Shipping 1. Your #ShippingContainer is unloaded from a vessel at a port. 2. A #DrayageCarrier then takes charge and transports the container to a nearby distribution point, such as a distribution center, a rail terminal, or even another port. 3. When it reaches the destination, the container is efficiently loaded onto another mode of transport, helping your goods move on toward their #FinalDestination.

Over the road transportation offers flexibility accommodating various types and sizes of shipments and solutions that can be tailored to your supply chain needs. Full truckload (FTL) services are used when the volume of cargo you’re shipping requires an entire truck’s capacity. In general, FTL offers a faster transit as there’s typically is a single pick-up and drop-off of cargo. When you can’t fill an entire truck or you want to expedite a shipment, LTL (less than truckload), may be the best option. LTL involves multiple smaller shipments which are combined from a range of shippers so you share the overall cost. The transit time may be longer with LTL since there may be multiple stops to pick up and drop off freight.
