Drayage

Drayage that starts when the container is released

We dray containers from Port of Miami, Port Everglades, and Miami International Airport. Chassis is included. The warehouse sits close to those gates, which is how we pull a box when it is released and get the empty back before demurrage and per diem pile up.

Overview

Drayage that gets the container off the terminal clock

The expensive part of a late container is often not the truck. It is demurrage and per diem once free time ends. The useful drayage habit is simple: watch the release, pull when the terminal will actually hand the box over, and return the empty before those clocks get loud.

After the gate, the container comes to the warehouse or to another address you name. There we can unload, sort, and stage freight for fulfillment, for a cross-dock, or for a longer haul. Paperwork stays with the move so the empty can go back.

Those three gateways are the lanes: Port of Miami, Port Everglades, and MIA. After the unload, a full truck or an LTL trailer can take the freight onward. Getting the empty back before free time ends is how per diem stays off the bill.

Included

What is included

  • Pickup after release

    We track availability and dispatch when the terminal will release the container.

  • Chassis and gate moves

    We supply the chassis, run the gate move, and handle terminal paperwork on these lanes.

  • Delivery to the warehouse

    The container comes to our warehouse or to a site you specify in South Florida.

  • Unload and sort

    Devan, a count against the documents, and a stage for whatever the freight does next.

  • FTL and LTL onward

    Full truckload when the load is urgent, LTL when sharing a trailer is the smarter bill.

  • Empty return

    The empty is booked back to the terminal before free time ends, which is how per diem stays off the invoice.

Benefits

Why brands use this

Free time treated as real

Dispatch and the empty return are planned against terminal clocks. We still cannot move a box the terminal will not release.

One team after the gate

The drayage, the unload, and the next dispatch can sit with the same team instead of three inboxes.

A short haul

Port of Miami, Port Everglades, and MIA are a short haul from the building, chassis included.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Port of Miami, Port Everglades, and Miami International Airport. Chassis is part of the move. The building is close enough that the haul itself is short once the terminal releases the box.
