What Is Drayage?
Drayage is the short-distance transportation of shipping containers between ports, rail terminals, warehouses, and distribution centers. In the context of South Florida logistics, drayage typically refers to moving containers from Port of Miami or Port Everglades to local warehouses, transloading facilities, or distribution points throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
While the distance is short — usually under 50 miles — drayage is one of the most critical links in the supply chain. Delays at this stage can trigger demurrage and detention charges, disrupt warehouse receiving schedules, and cascade through your entire distribution timeline. That's why choosing a drayage provider with deep port knowledge, reliable equipment, and responsive dispatch is essential.

Key factors that affect your drayage rate include the distance from port to delivery location, container weight and size, chassis requirements, port-specific fees and surcharges, and potential wait time at the terminal. Fuel surcharges, toll charges, and any special handling requirements (such as overweight permits) are also factored into your quote.
