What is Drayage?

Drayage refers to the short-distance transportation of goods, particularly containers, between different transportation hubs such as ports, rail yards, or warehouses. It is a vital component of the intermodal shipping process, linking ocean freight, rail freight, and truck freight seamlessly. Container Drayage involves transporting containers to and from ports, rail terminals, and distribution centers. Although drayage services are typically short-distance movements, they require precision, efficiency, and reliability to ensure smooth supply chain operations.
