We provide short drayage operations to keep businesses running smoothly. Whether you need it to be done from port to port, port to dock, or port to its final destination. What do drayage services entail? Drayage is defined by its usage of containers to transport loads usually over short distances. Some of the drayage operations carried out include the transportation of goods from port to port, port to rail, port to dock, or to its final destination. Most drayage operations involve the pickup and drop off of goods within the same city, town, or metropolitan area, we also provide long distance drayage services if need be. There are numerous situations where short drayage can be utilized by shippers, a classic example is the shipment of loads over a distance before it can be loaded on a rail for shipment. Drayage also forms an important part of intermodal transport operations. Nationwide Transport Services provides drayage services at your convenience, whatever or wherever it may be. We understand that drayage is a critical step in moving freight. DRAYAGE LOADING AND UNLOADING ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE WITH NTS DRAYAGE TRANSPORT IS OFTEN PART OF A LONGER OVERALL SHIPMENT. The process usually involves taking containers in and out of rail, warehouses, and terminals. It also consists of taking steel containers off ship decks and rail cars, then loading the containers on trailers. After that, they’re taken to warehouses and other storage facilities as they await the next step of intermodal shipping. The drayage service is only applicable in regions where the trailer is moved within the same region. Drayage is often part of a longer freight operation. Unlike long-distance or across the border shipping, short drayage can be carried out in one driver shift. The time and distance are often very short compared to the overall shipment’s journey.
