To find drayage customers are you guys contacting companies that import from overseas? Walmart, etc. Or the shipping companies themselves? Maersk, etc. Customs agents? Curious how to tap into this niche. Who's paying the bills for that shipment? I'd imagine cross docking / storage services would be a good business around the ports.
We suggest contacting the carriers in the market you'll be working in, and ask for their tariff rates. Do this with a handful of carriers to determine the market. A rate won't do you much good without a carrier willing and able to move it for you.
@@sahirahross8290 you wouldn’t be sending a bill to a rail yard unless your customer is the rail road. There is a process called rail billing that doesn’t have anything to do with invoices. It refers to the process of getting the info to the rail road so they know where the container is going.

So as a broker, you'd contact the shipping lines or the container owners to do intermodal and drayage.
You can, but shipping lines are very large companies with long sales cycles. I’d start with Freight Forwarders.
Great question💯 new broker over here. Would luv to network if possible.
Great episode, thanks
Thanks for your support!
This was excellent! Thank You!
Thx for the feedback!
@@Freight360 what does it mean when a broker says "you must be able to pin your own container/box"?
@@sahirahross8290 They're referring to how the containers are secured to the chassis. They have pins that connect them.
Great content. Learned alot. Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback!

What tools do you use for rates of intermodal shipments? Also how do we get started?
We suggest contacting the carriers in the market you'll be working in, and ask for their tariff rates. Do this with a handful of carriers to determine the market. A rate won't do you much good without a carrier willing and able to move it for you.

Is it possible for you guys to do a video on how to rate bill for export?
Are you asking for a video explaining how to get rates for exports?
@@Freight360 no, how to bill a rail yard for an export.

@@Freight360 oh ok thank you
You're welcome!
So freight doesn't get posted on any loadboard for drayage?
You’ll see it occasionally on DAT or other load boards. There’s also Drayage.com. There’s a lot there.
Hi, could you please help me to find the drayage customers ?
the guy in the red shirt im guessing he was Air Force because he mentions his service and he mentions middle east lol
Thanks for watching
So a carrier has to be registered with each shipping company to pull their containers?
You'll need to be tendered the loads by the company responsible for their delivery. If you're a carrier, you'll need to be registered with the UIIA.
