What is drayage?
Drayage refers to the transportation of goods over short distances, typically as part of a longer overall journey. It's most commonly associated with the movement of freight containers between ports, warehouses, and rail yards. Drayage is a critical component of the logistics and shipping industry, particularly in the context of intermodal transport, where cargo is moved using multiple forms of transportation, such as ships, trucks, and trains.
This plays a significant role in Reno's industrial market because goods from overseas arrive at Northern California ports, are transported via truck (Drayage) to facilities across northern Nevada, where they are repackaged and then shipped to retailers, consumers, and distribution centers throughout the West—often returning to California.
Drayage rates are a crucial factor in determining the cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and overall attractiveness of Reno’s industrial market. They influence everything from logistics and supply chain decisions to real estate demand and economic growth in the region.
