Frequently Asked Questions
Container drayage is the short-distance transport of shipping containers between ports, rail yards, warehouses, and distribution centers. It’s the link that connects ocean, rail, and over-the-road freight ensuring cargo moves efficiently through each leg of the supply chain.
Drayage is a critical step in intermodal logistics. After a container arrives by ocean vessel or rail, a drayage carrier picks it up and delivers it to its next destination — whether that’s a warehouse, manufacturing plant, or another port. It bridges the gap between modes of transport, keeping cargo flowing smoothly.
Drayage costs depend on factors such as:
- Distance between pickup and delivery point
- Port or rail terminal location and congestion
- Container size (20’, 40’, 45’, or reefer)
- Wait time, chassis usage, and detention fees
- Cargo type (standard, hazmat, or overweight)
Total Connection provides transparent, all-in drayage quotes that include port fees, driver time, and equipment costs upfront.
