Drayage is the short move that connects ocean freight to everything that happens next. It is also the leg where delays cost the most, because containers sitting past their free time accrue charges every single day. AJE Freight Solutions pulls your containers on time, from every major port in the country.
Drayage is the transport of an ocean container between a marine terminal or rail ramp and its next stop, usually a warehouse, distribution center, or transload facility. The distance is often short, sometimes under 50 miles, but the timing is unforgiving.
Marine terminals allow only a few days of free time before demurrage begins, and the steamship line charges per diem until the empty container is returned. Missing either window turns a routine move into a four-figure invoice.
Doing it well takes port access more than mileage: securing terminal appointments, tracking vessel discharge and customs release, managing chassis availability, and returning equipment before the clock runs out.
We also cover inland rail ramps served by BNSF, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, and CSX, for containers moving on the ground beyond the coast.
Drayage is rarely the whole job. We handle what comes before and after it, so your freight moves under one point of contact instead of three.
We coordinate the entry and release of your freight so your container is cleared and ready the moment it is available to pull. Nothing gets dispatched before release, and we track that status for you rather than leaving you to chase it.
Store your freight near the port until you are ready for it, or transload the contents of an ocean container into a domestic 53-foot trailer. Transloading fits more freight into fewer trailers and stops per diem from running on the container.
Once your freight is off the port, we move it anywhere in the country by full truckload or LTL, on the same bill. One container, one point of contact, from the terminal gate to the final door.
