Drayage at Port Everglades is the short-haul trucking move that pulls your ocean container off the terminal and delivers it to a nearby warehouse or destination. It begins when the container is discharged and customs-released, and ends when the empty is returned within the terminal’s free-time window.
The process step by step
Discharge and availability
When your container is unloaded and released, the terminal marks it available. Your carrier watches this so a truck dispatches the moment it is ready.
Chassis and appointment
The container needs a chassis to move, and most terminals require an appointment. Carriers with their own chassis pool avoid shortages and split fees. See our container drayage service.
Delivery and empty return
The driver delivers the box to your warehouse for unloading or transloading, then returns the empty before per-diem accrues.
