Because a drayage load can mean a few different things, confusion among carriers is common. Many carriers link drayage with going into a port, but that isn't always true. While all drayage loads typically originate from a port of entry, there are often several legs of a drayage journey before a container turns up at its final stop. Legs of a drayage load may include:

Why Are Drayage Companies in Mesa, AZ So Important?

You may be thinking, what's so important about drayage? It's such a small step in the container storage transport process. In reality, it's an integral piece needed in the logistics industry and a crucial part of U.S. supply chain management.

To truly understand the importance of drayage, let's use flowers as an example. Most cut flower shipments enter the market from areas in South America until they end up at Dutch auction houses. Once there, wholesalers purchase flowers in bulk and send those products to retail outlets worldwide. Because flowers are perishable, they typically need to be refrigerated and are often shipped in reefer containers. These refrigerated vessels must maintain a certain temp to prevent loss.

Drayage companies like RelyEx allow flower shippers to send their products from Argentinian ports to airports in the Netherlands with peace of mind because their products are protected. The only way to accomplish this feat is with the help of swift, meticulous port drayage services. Drayage companies allow flower shippers to send their products from Argentinian ports to airports in the Netherlands with peace of mind, because their products are protected. The only way to accomplish this feat is with the help of swift, meticulous port drayage services.

If port drayage is compromised, it can cause delays and even fines. You know the packages you get delivered to your front door from apps like Amazon? Without drayage and drayage brokers, one or two-day shipping times wouldn't even be possible.

As a multi-billion-dollar industry in the U.S. alone, it seems like drayage shipping issues shouldn't exist. But the fact is inefficiencies and congestion are still major problems at ports. Whether it's a lack of carriers, absent chassis, or overburdened terminals, delays lead to missed deadlines, lost revenue, and worse.

But anytime challenges exist, so too do innovative solutions.

Paperwork Errors

Typically, shippers need four specific documents to clear shipments through customs: A Bill of Lading (or BOL), a commercial invoice, a packing list, and an arrival notice. Seasoned drayage brokers like RelyEx are used to preparing these documents, but new shippers tend to miss this step due to inexperience.

Payment Delays

If a shipper only pays for part of their shipment, a vessel operator may refuse to release their freight until their bill is fully paid. Payment delays lead to cargo detention at the port of entry, which triggers demurrage charges.

Documents Received Too Late

Paperwork is needed when you're shipping goods with a drayage company. When documents like the Certificate of Origin or Bill of Lading arrive at their destination late, you can expect demurrage fees. RelyEx avoids this situation entirely by being proactive when submitting paperwork.

Additional causes for demurrage fees can include:

  • Damaged Container Storage
  • Custom Released Containers
  • Storage Containers Are Too Heavy

NTT acquires 173-acre planned data center park in Mesa, Arizona, for $300m

NTT has acquired more land in the Mesa area of Phoenix, Arizona, for data center development.

Local press, including BizJournal and ConnectCRE, report that NTT Data paid $300 million for 173 acres east of Mesa on the northeast corner of Pecos and Crismon roads for a data center campus.

NTT has confirmed the acquisition of the 174-acre site to DCD. A spokesperson for the company said the plan is for seven buildings, with the first one being available in November 2028.

– Google Maps

Levine Investments and Andrew Cohn owned the land through Mesa BA Land and Pacific Proving LLC. The group bought 1,805 acres for $45 million in 2004. Levine, through Pacific Proving, got the green light for the Pacific Proving Technology Campus in September 2024.

Nathan & Associates Inc. and JLL negotiated the deal.

First proposed in November 2023, the Pacific Proving Technology Park will be built on nearly 170 acres on the northeast corner of Pecos and Crimson roads, and will see seven data halls developed with nearly 1.7 million sq ft (157,935 sqm) of total floorspace, alongside a 100,000 sq ft warehouse and a two-story office building, according to a presentation shared during the meeting. The data center campus is expected to offer 360MW of capacity.

An earlier iteration of the Pacific Proving campus would have had 11 buildings spanning over 2.5 million.

Opened in 1953, the former GM Desert Proving Ground in Mesa was a General Motors facility for the testing of HVAC, propulsion, and other automotive systems in a desert climate. GM relocated to Yuma in 2009.

Part of the proving grounds has since been turned into the Legacy Industrial Park. Another 43-acre data center project, separate from the acquired site and known as the Merit Partners Legacy Business Park, was also approved by council officials last year.

This would be NTT's second site in Phoenix. It operates a 102-acre, 240MW campus a few miles north of the acquired site at 10256 Elliot Road. The first facility, PH1, offers 36MW across 126,000 sq ft (11,705 sqm).

Phoenix is a major data center hub, with the Mesa area home to Polish software firm Comarch as well as EdgeCore, Meta, Novva, Apple, CyrusOne, and NTT. Amazon is planning two campuses in Mesa, while landowner Pacific Proving is also planning to develop a large campus in the area.

Across the rest of Phoenix, the likes of Stack, Stream, Prime, Aligned, Iron Mountain, Vantage, Compass, QTS, EdgeConneX, Expedient, and H5 are all present. Microsoft operates a cloud region out of the area.

‘FUNBOX’ bounce park is set to open its first indoor location in Arizona! ABC15’s Nicole Gutierrez takes you inside the new family entertainment destination that’s set to open later this week near the corner of Higley and Brown roads in Mesa.

and last updated

MESA, AZ — FUNBOX has popped up on different parts of the Valley, but the company is now ready to open its first indoor Arizona permanent location!

“We have been doing the outdoor park for the last four years, and [it’s been] super exciting. We're still doing it, but we just thought it's such a bummer to only be able to do it for 12 weeks out of the year, especially here in Arizona, when it gets so hot. So, we said, let's bring it indoors. Let's do this all year round. So, we're finally doing it. We've been planning it for a long time. We designed this place, you know, for so long, and we're just trying to make it into something super, super special for everybody,” said Michael Bolbach, owner of the FUNBOX Bounce & Party Center in Mesa, in an interview with ABC15.

The new indoor location in the East Valley is set to open on Friday, March 21. Here’s a sneak peek of the entertainment location:

“We have our three-ball game [Gumball Gallop] where you just jump around and try to get to the other side. We have Battle Beams, [we have] Marshmallow Mountain where it's essentially like a trampoline,” said Bolbach. “We have slides everywhere. We have a ninja wall. We have an obstacle course in the back, tons of characters that are FUNBOX characters; they're out there in the back that you can play with and hang out with.”

And if you get tired of bouncing around, there’s more to do too. “So once you get really tired, you come out, we have a seating area [… and] we have arcade games; they are going to be free arcade games. So, we have claw machines, we have driving games. We have a really cool Angry Birds game,” shared Bolbach. “You can bring your own food in if you'd like. And then the big thing is that we have birthday parties- so, we have these really cool birthday party rooms built out.”

Mesa is home to the first Arizona location, but according to Bolbach that Valley could see more locations.

“We love Mesa, it's a great community, there are incredible people here, it's a big community. We feel like we're kind of like in the heart of it, and we just want to bring something special to Mesa.So, we are looking at other locations around the Valley, start building this out in other towns,” said Bolbach to ABC15.

The Diamondbacks played another generally sound game on Wednesday.

In this story:

The Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Athletics by a score of 5-2 on Wednesday in Mesa behind a solid start from young righty Ryne Nelson.

Nelson tossed 3.2 strong innings in his second Cactus League start. While he only recorded one strikeout, and gave up a handful of loud outs, he was very efficient, and looked to showcase better command than his previous outings.

He did allow his first run of Spring Training - a solo homer to Athletics' infielder CJ Alexander, who is the brother of Diamondbacks' infielder Blaze Alexander. The solo homer was the only run allowed by Nelson, and he didn't issue a walk on the day.

Nelson was overall pleased with his day, and reflected on the outing to Diamondbacks On SI's Jack Sommers postgame.

"I think it's progressing, it's getting there, it's getting to where I want it to be. The fastball command was a lot better today than it has been, and I feel like one of the things that I've been focusing on that's jumped out to me is that I wasn't getting ahead of guys, and I think I did a good job of that today," Nelson said.

Nelson praised the defense of his center fielder, as Alek Thomas ran down a hard-hit ball, making the catch look easy, as he frequently does.

"I was joking with Alek [about] how it's usually not a good sign when you see the outfielder turn their back and run straight to the wall, but that's definitely a guy that you trust when he puts his head down. He has really good skills with picking the ball up, and sometimes they turn their back and that means it's going over the fence, but not always with Alek."

Nelson said he feels about "three quarters" of the way up to full strength, but felt his current level would be enough to compete if needed.

"I think if Opening Day was tomorrow, I'd be able to go out there and compete, but I definitely think that there's levels to it," Nelson said.

The D-backs' offense didn't have an explosive day, but a pair of doubles by Jorge Barrosa and Ketel Marte spotted Arizona a 1-0 lead in the third inning. After the Alexander homer, Pavin Smith got into one for a moonshot to right center and a 2-1 Diamondbacks lead.

Left-hander Kyle Nelson allowed a double to lead off the fifth, then sailed a pickoff attempt to second base to allow the runner to advance. A single later made the score 2-2 on an unearned run not charged to Nelson.

Yilber Díaz threw 2.1 innings in relief, and allowed just one base hit while striking out two. He issued two walks. Ryan Thompson collected one out with no baserunners allowed, and left-hander Jake Rice threw 0.2 scoreless innings.

Arizona pulled ahead in the eighth inning, after a Jack Hurley single, a Ryan Waldschmidt hit-by-pitch, and another single off the bat of Juan Corniel. With Waldschmidt at third, Athletics' catcher Willie MacIver sailed a back-pick of his own, allowing Waldschmidt to easily make it 4-2.

After a leadoff single and fielder's choice, the D-backs snuck one more run across in the ninth as catcher René Pinto ricocheted a ground ball off the second base bag to score Jose Fernandez and bring the score to 5-2.

Juan Morillo and his 99 MPH fastball shut the door on just seven pitches, inducing a ground ball double play to end it and erase a leadoff single.

Speaking to reporters postgame, manager Torey Lovullo spoke about Ryne Nelson, and the dilemma in front of Lovullo and the coaching staff. Nelson is in the midst of a battle for the fifth starter's spot, with seven qualified MLB pitchers currently healthy in camp.

"It's a very difficult discussion that we're having. I've had this very similar conversation that I had with him in Spring Training as I've had with him the past three years," Lovullo said.

"He can block out the black noise as good as anybody and and go out and attack. And that's maturity and that's confidence. Got a lot of self-confidence. He looked like he could have gone on forever.

"But the secondary stuff is what stands out to me. It's the it's the depth and the angle of his breaking ball that he's really working on and stood out real well today," Lovullo said.

The manager praised Nelson's mentals, and his ability to simply take every situation as it comes and compete in the best way possible.

"Nothing phases him. From the day I met him, he just takes it in stride and he always says the right things. You know, 'I just want the baseball. When you're ready to give it to me, I'll be as ready as I can.' It's just it's a certain level of confidence that he walks around with. One of his best qualities is is his belief in himself and his ability to go on and execute," Lovullo said.

The Diamondbacks will be back in action on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners in Peoria at 6:40 p.m. Arizona time.

MESA, AZ (AZFamily) — Neighbors in the Hermosa Vista neighborhood, located near McDowell and Lindsay roads in Mesa, are expressing concern about a new treatment center that has moved into the neighborhood.

The Legacy Recovery Center provides services to those who are struggling with substance abuse and mental health issues. In December, the owner, Richard Miller, said they had been approved to purchase the property. However, residents in the neighborhood say they were unaware of this until last week.

“Our neighborhood loves the families and the community that we’ve created, and we’re sad about the institutionalization of our neighborhood,” said neighbor Mike Stephan.

The treatment center is just steps away from Hermosa Vista Elementary, with its backyard facing one of the classrooms.

“We have kids walking up and down the street all day, every day, and especially during school hours, twice a day, five days a week. I don’t think that the facilitator can keep our kids safe,” said neighbor Amy Johnson.

Miller said they are currently waiting for their license to treat people here. The home can house up to 10 people simultaneously, providing therapy services, psychiatric care and peer support.

In the city of Mesa, any short-term treatment facility is required to have a special use permit. While Miller says the minimum stay at their home is 30 days, there is no limit to how long a client can stay. Still, many residents believe the facility should be required to obtain a special permit to set up shop here.

A public meeting will be held on Friday to discuss and express concerns with the treatment center. The meeting starts at 3 p.m. at 2338 East Minton Street.
