🚢 Drayage 101: What You Need to Know

Short-haul freight from port to warehouse might sound simple—but in logistics, it’s anything but.

In this video, I break down what drayage really means, why it matters, and how to avoid costly missteps when moving containers from ports and railyards.

🔍 What You’ll Learn: • What drayage is (and why it’s critical in the supply chain) • Common drayage needs: power only, chassis, flatbed • Must-ask questions before booking a drayage load • Why TWIC cards, container ownership, and return timing matter • How transloading plays into port operations

📦 Drayage Fast Facts: • Common container sizes: 20’ and 40’ • Ports often require TWIC-certified drivers • Containers must be returned to the ocean carrier • Not all carriers are drayage-capable—choose wisely

📌 Whether you’re sourcing a drayage carrier, handling port delays, or coordinating returns, drayage can make or break your ocean freight strategy.
