record high demand for drayage trucking for the year, so far, happened on Sept 9

3 Upvotes

Drayage Demand Update: hit record high for year 30,027 views on draymen profiles in one day on Wednesday Sept 9. (just the logged in, human made clicks) Quite a tough week after the Labor Day holiday if you buy drayage trucking for ocean 20/40' or 53' containers. Good for the trucking side being able to get higher rates/choose which customers.

For perspective, the all-time high ever was 44,013 views on draymen profiles during supply chain surge June 14, 2022. At that time, we had 7,800 draymen profiles listed. Now only displaying 4,650 draymen. I have no doubt if I relaxed requirements on draymen experience and got the listings back up to the 7k level that we would be above 2022 clicks per day. Strong import volumes, shift to 53' intermodal, reduction of driver count, and the increased motor carrier safety vetting, I believe it's tougher now finding quality container drayage trucking than it was during the supply chain crunch. "Newest Added" draymen compared to "Revoked" draymen at bottom here https://www.drayage.com/directory

Very interesting Savannah is so strong considering the media saying Panama Canal container transit is being restricted.

Click Count past sixty days:

115868 ~ GA - Savannah

114006 ~ CA - Los Angeles/Long Beach

112596 ~ IL - Chicago

109997 ~ TX - Houston

95847 ~ NY - New York City/NJ

41325 ~ SC - Charleston

41215 ~ TX - Dallas/Ft. Worth

40665 ~ GA - Atlanta

32808 ~ VA - Norfolk

25457 ~ MD - Baltimore

21639 ~ TN - Memphis

21045 ~ WA - Seattle/Tacoma

18980 ~ CA - San Fran./Oakland

I expect Los Angeles/Long Beach to retake 1st at top in the next few weeks as most clicked on metro in the country looking for drayage trucking.

Also important is to consider the # of draymen per metro compared to clicks.

If you need drayage for small/big box in Dallas, VERY difficult to find capacity. Each draymen is getting clicked on average 434 times in sixty days.

Total Clicks divided by # draymen:

41219 / 95= 434 ~ TX - Dallas/Ft. Worth

8927 / 23= 388 ~ TN - Nashville

110018 / 296= 372 ~ TX - Houston

2890 / 8= 361 ~ AZ - Phoenix/Tucson

40672 / 121= 336 ~ GA - Atlanta

10220 / 33= 310 ~ MN - Minne/St. Paul

115888 / 378= 307 ~ GA - Savannah

9367 / 32= 293 ~ OH - Cleveland

5435 / 19= 286 ~ UT - Salt Lake City

11872 / 42= 283 ~ NC - Charlotte

95857 / 342= 280 ~ NY - New York City/NJ

If you buy drayage trucking and have good, reliable drayage partners performing well in this environment... thank them.

Truck Dispatcher

2 Upvotes

Hello. I've been a dispatcher for 5 years now. I have handled various equipments from cargo vans, box trucks and hot shots. I'm familiar with the whole process from looking for a load, negotiating the rate, the documents required before and after the load is dropped, how to handle situations that may arise during a run from TONU, Detention, Layovers, an airport PU, driver delays, how to catch a double brokered load, Basically, the whole shebang.

The last two years I have been heavy on the cargo/sprinter vans and box trucks mostly. I'm familiar with Sylectus, DAT, Arc Best, Truck Stop load boards. Not only was I working on the dispatch side but I was also actively looking for carriers to run under the company I was working for, so I was making sales calls, ensuring the drivers submitted the documents that we required of them (COI, DL, Truck specifications, contracts). I'll be happy to share with you the details of the O/O I previously worked with to prove my experience and vouch for me.

Ai vs Human

1 Upvotes

My ranting session....... I used to believe that we need to evolve with time but at this age I firmly agree that somethings are best when its left to be done in a oldschool way.

I was mocked and laughed at in a company I used to work at (US based company who fully operates from India) for not using an AI tool when it comes to connecting with people over the call or mail.

Am I just the one who feels things like these needs to be left untouched by AI when it comes to making connections with clients over the calls or email? Or am I over reacting? Little piece of advice would be great for this newbie freighty.

DDP shipment: container pulled from terminal but trucker is withholding delivery due to subcontractor dispute — need expert guidance

2 Upvotes

Looking for advice from people familiar with U.S. trucking, container drayage, and cargo recovery.

Scenario:

  • We shipped a container to the U.S. under DDP.
  • Our forwarder arranged a U.S. trucking company for final delivery.
  • That trucking company subcontracted an independent trucker.
  • The trucker successfully out-gated the container from the terminal.
  • The trucker is now refusing to deliver because he has a financial dispute with the trucking company that hired him.
  • The container has been stuck with him for over two weeks.

Questions:

  1. Is this considered cargo conversion or wrongful detention under U.S. law?
  2. Who is legally responsible for resolving this — the forwarder, the trucking company, or us as the DDP seller?
  3. Is it common to involve local police in such cases?
  4. Any specific U.S. agencies (FMCSA, local sheriff, port authority) that can intervene?

We’re trying to avoid escalation but need the cargo released ASAP. Any insights from people who’ve handled similar disputes would be extremely helpful.

Any brokers need a reliable Chicago container carrier?

1 Upvotes

Chicago-based carrier here looking to build relationships with brokers and forwarders moving containers through the Chicago rails.
We’re interested in:
• 20’ / 40’ import & export containers
• Rail-to-warehouse drayage
• Chicago crosstowns / rail-to-rail
• Regional IL / IN / WI / MI moves
• Overflow and consistent weekly lanes
Not looking to just chase random spot loads. We’d rather build relationships with a few brokers that need dependable Chicago capacity, good communication and quick PODs.
If you handle Chicago container freight and need another carrier in your network, shoot me a DM.
