What is Drayage?

Drayage, a term frequently used in shipping and logistics, refers to the short-distance transport of goods, often forming part of a longer freight journey. This typically involves moving cargo from ports, railroads, or harbors to a warehouse or another intermediary point. Historically, the term originates from horse-drawn dray carts used for similar purposes.
