The Critical Role of Drayage in the Supply Chain

Writer's picture: Terminal TransferTerminal Transfer

Drayage is a pivotal component of the supply chain, serving as the essential link between intermodal transport modes and ensuring seamless cargo movement during the first and last mile of delivery. This specialized service facilitates the transport of goods between ports, rail yards, warehouses, and final destinations, making it a cornerstone of logistics operations.

In the intermodal ecosystem, drayage plays a dual role. On the front end, it ensures that cargo is efficiently transferred from ports or rail terminals to warehouses or distribution centers. On the back end, it enables goods to move from storage to their ultimate destination, bridging the gap between various transport modes. This crucial service helps businesses achieve efficiency, timeliness, and cost-effectiveness in their supply chains.
