Thinking about becoming a Drayage Carrier?
It might seem tough, but it’s easier than you think.
If you’re an Owner Operator tired of long hauls and load boards, then container hauling could be for you.
Drayage offers higher profit margins with shorter trips and easier access to high-paying loads.
Let CIS show you the ropes and help you take the next step in your trucking career.
Traditionally, it was difficult to start hauling Drayage Freight because the Owner Operator needed to navigate IMCs, 3PLs, Brokers and Load Boards.
Now Freight Apps make Drayage a whole lot easier for you!
Apps are truly the best way for new carriers to haul container freight.
IMCs, 3PLs, Brokers and Load Boards work with DrayNow or Amazon Relay so you don’t have to:)
The Apps streamline cargo logistics by connecting all parties, equipment, and facilities, then consolidating the entire process into a single bill for the shipper.
With Owner Operator Apps, it’s easy to find and select loads, get all the delivery details you need and get paid fast.
“Intermodal” is just a fancy way of saying that a shipment uses multiple forms of transportation, like a train and a truck. Think of it as “between modes.”
You’ll be handling the “Drayage” part, which is the short-distance your truck makes from pickup to delivery.
Most Drayage originates from rail yards with the container delivery run within a 250 mile radius.
When you choose your load, your App will assign you a chassis with a freight-filled container ready to go.
The (IANA) Intermodal Association of North America requires Independent Contractors to maintain specific types of insurance to haul under the (UIIA) Uniform Intermodal Interchange & FAcilities Access Agreement.
Your insurance agent will submit all these requirements for you through the UIIA web portal using their account number and password.
If you’re looking for a smaller, more personal truck insurance agency that can handle intermodal coverage and access the UIIA portal then CIS is your solution.
