Pier Drayage Services 101
Drayage refers to short distance movement of goods, the so-called “first mile.” This essential leg of the journey often determines whether your goods will reach their destination on time. Drayage logistics require expertise in moving goods from and to their departure and arrival points to start or finish the shipping process efficiently.
Van Brunt Logistics & Warehousing has a full lineup of drayage services, including the following:
- Warehousing
- Distribution
- Warehouse management
- Transloading and export packing
- Container stripping
The Domino Affect: Where Drayage Goes Right (or Wrong)
At Van Brunt Logistics & Warehousing, we understand the vital role that drayage plays in supply chain management. That’s why transporting goods and materials along the first mile is a huge part of what we do. Let our team set the tone for your shipping journey, from port to shelf.
Typically, drayage starts at a port of entry, but has several components. Let us help ensure your important items get from the port to the yard to the warehouse to the truck or rail station. When the first step of the journey goes well, it’s highly likely that your goods and products will arrive on time at the final destination!
