Drayage sounds complicated, because it is.
Some refer to drayage as “the first mile.” But we like call it “the make-it-or-break-it mile.” That’s because what you do here often determines the success of your entire supply chain.
What is drayage?
Putting it simply, drayage is much more than just the first mile. It’s the movement of your product through a complex matrix of ports and inland rail ramps with obstacles everywhere. This short but mighty leg of the multimodal journey is riddled with congestion, equipment shortages, and inefficiencies that make success difficult to achieve. Our expertise guides you along the way.
