Drayage

Streamlining Your Supply Chain

Drayage is a crucial part of transportation logistics, involving the movement of goods over short distances within ports, between ports and inland locations, or among different locations in a region. It connects different transportation modes and facilitates efficient cargo transfer. Drayage typically covers short distances, ranging from a few miles to around 100 miles, depending on specific requirements and location. Despite the short distances, efficient and reliable drayage services are vital for an effective supply chain.
