What Are Drayage Containers?

Container drayage is the transport of shipping containers over short distances, often between ports, rail yards, and distribution centers. It serves as a critical connector between long-haul ocean shipping and overland transportation modes. Container drayage helps goods flow smoothly through the global supply chain.

Modern containerization and intermodal transportation have revolutionized international trade. Standardized shipping containers can be seamlessly transferred between ships, trains, and trucks, allowing goods to efficiently travel vast distances. However, the ports, rail yards, and distribution centers that serve as transfer points require a way to move containers over short distances – this is the role of container drayage.

Drayage Containers
I have peace of mind knowing my containers are in good hands with a drayage provider. Containers contain expensive products, so safety is critical during overland transport between locations. The drayage company I use has an excellent safety track record.

Drayage Containers
I highly recommend 3T Logistics with dependable drayage transportation. The  container transfers during the intermodal shipping process. Reliable drayage is essential to keep freight moving and avoid delays that can quickly increase costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to commonly asked questions.
Need a Answer?

How does port drayage work?

+

Drayage refers to the transportation of cargo over short distances. It is typically one leg of a longer journey, such as moving freight from an ocean freighter to a distribution center. Rather than transporting a heavy shipping container straight from the ship to the warehouse, drayage means transferring the freight from the port to either trucks or trains.

How do you charge for drayage loads?

+

The base drayage fees for the transport of your container are charged by weight. This means that there is a base fee charge for every 100 pounds of freight. For example, a shipment that weighs 123 pounds will be rounded and charged at 200 pounds. Some carriers have a minimum fee of 200 pounds per shipment.

What's the difference between freight and drayage?

+

Drayage, a term closely related to freight, refers to the transport of goods over relatively short distances, typically within the same metropolitan area or port. It involves the movement of freight between a port, rail yard, or other transportation hub to a nearby warehouse, distribution center, or final destination.

What is the difference between drayage and long-haul?

+

Drayage is a term related to freight transport that involves moving goods short distances within the same city or port. It refers to hauling freight between a harbor, train depot, or transportation center to a close by warehouse, distribution facility, or end location. Drayage focuses on the short-haul movement of goods rather than long distance freight transport.

How much does a full container load cost?

+

The usual cost related to shipping a full container load falls between $2,000 and $3,000.
