Orlando Freight Forwarding FAQs

Shipping is broadly defined as transporting goods. In general usage, this transportation would be conducted on a boat but, in logistics, shipping can refer to freight transportation by truck, rail, air, or vessels used on waterways. Drayage is a much more niche term, referring to freight transportation over short distances, typically although not always by truck. As a common example, a truck driver could pick up freight from a port or train station to take it to a warehouse or distribution center located nearby. Drayage services in Orlando are an important part of the supply chain, keeping freight moving along smoothly without bottlenecks in the supply chain. It’s especially important when transportation plans are multi-modal, allowing the freight to efficiently move forward without unnecessary delays.

In each of our drayage services in Orlando, we use highly skilled drivers for safe, timely transportation, pulling containers, communicating with the terminal or port, and delivering goods to the distribution center. We manage the spectrum, too, from standard shipping containers to non-traditional oversized machinery, leveraging our expertise and using special equipment.

Specific drayage services provided include:

  • Expedited drayage for time-sensitive freight container shipments
