FAQ – DGM Drayage Services
What are drayage services?
Drayage services involve the transportation of shipping containers, typically between ports, rail terminals, and warehouses or distribution centers.
What's the difference between freight and drayage?
Freight typically refers to transporting goods with a van, box truck, or trailer truck. Drayage specifically means the short-distance trucking of containers between ports, terminals, warehouses, or local delivery points.
How much does drayage cost?
DGM NY provides competitive rates for drayage services; however, exact costs depend on several factors. These include the type of cargo—such as hazardous materials (hazmat), general cargo, out-of-gauge (OOG), or refrigerated goods (reefer)—as well as terminal location and other specific variables.

What is demurrage?
Demurrage is a charge assessed by shipping lines or terminals when cargo containers remain at the port or terminal beyond the allowed free time. It’s designed to encourage timely pickup of cargo and efficient equipment use. DGM’s experienced staff is skilled at minimizing or eliminating these costs through effective planning and proactive management.
What are common drayage fees?
Common drayage fees include base trucking rates, fuel surcharges, chassis rental fees, overweight container fees, hazardous material (hazmat) fees, waiting time charges, terminal handling fees, and congestion fees. Costs vary depending on cargo type, distance, and location. DGM’s team has extensive experience managing these fees, ensuring cost effective drayage solutions.
Who needs drayage?
Drayage services are commonly arranged by freight forwarders or Non-Vessel Operating Common Carriers (NVOCCs). DGM maintains close collaboration with these logistics partners to ensure streamlined and efficient drayage operations.
