Drayage is the transport of cargo, freight or shipments over a very short distance during a single work shift, with the transport beginning and ending in the same urban area.
The following examples of Drayage are when the charges occur and what you get for them:
In a typical freight situation, where multiple modes of transportation are used (for port movement, truck transport, & rail) it is the movement of the freight or cargo from where it is unloaded from the truck or ship to where it is loaded on the train. At this point, there is generally some updating of inbound or outbound shipping documents and possibly the loading & unloading and repackaging of freight into a container.
