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 Nashville, TN 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.

QUOTE REQUEST

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

Canucks counting on Pettersson to find himself against Predators in Game 6

NASHVILLE -- Elias Pettersson is choosing to look at the possibilities with the Vancouver Canucks against the Nashville Predators in Game 6 of the Western Conference First Round at Bridgestone Arena on Friday (7 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, BSSO, SN, TVAS, CBC), not how he's struggled to produce during the first five games of the best-of-7 series."I don't think I started that well," the forward said Thursday. "...

NASHVILLE -- Elias Pettersson is choosing to look at the possibilities with the Vancouver Canucks against the Nashville Predators in Game 6 of the Western Conference First Round at Bridgestone Arena on Friday (7 p.m. ET; MAX, truTV, TNT, BSSO, SN, TVAS, CBC), not how he's struggled to produce during the first five games of the best-of-7 series.

"I don't think I started that well," the forward said Thursday. "I wanted to do too much, but, you know, live and learn. That's in the past. I'm looking forward."

The Canucks will need Pettersson at a level similar to his regular-season production if they want to eliminate the Predators from the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Game 7, if necessary, will be in Vancouver on Sunday.

"I know what I need to do," Pettersson said. "The game is so fast out there and they're doing a good job. They're a tough team to play against."

Pettersson had 89 points (34 goals, 55 assists) and was plus-20 in 82 regular-season games but has two assists and is minus-3 in series. He was a combined minus-4 with two shots on goal when Vancouver split Games 1 and 2 at Rogers Arena, the first playoff games he played in front of fans. His prior experience came in 2020, when games were played in an empty Rogers Place in Edmonton because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"You build off the fans' energy," he said. "Someone lays a hit, even if you play away or at home, the fans are into it. The fans really do play a factor.

"I think probably I was a bit too emotionally fired up and I wanted to do too much the first two games. The atmosphere at Rogers was amazing. I got away from my game and wanted to do too much instead of just playing the game.

"Live and learn. It's in the past, can only move forward."

Canucks coach Rick Tocchet was encouraged after talking to Pettersson before practice Thursday and then watching him on the ice.

"The best thing I heard today, we did a video today and he came up to me and said, '"Tocc,"' I've got to move my feet,'" Tocchet said. "I told him I don't care what you say after that. Just do that. He knows how to play the game. He knows how to play defense. He knows our system.

"That was music to my ears. He said it, I didn't have to tell him."

Pettersson's teammates were also excited by what they saw.

"He's going to be good," said defenseman Quinn Hughes, the Canucks captain. "He had a great practice today. He's going to score at a big opportunity, big time, and I'm looking forward to that."

Pettersson contributing will go a long way toward the Canucks creating consistent offense. They have four goals at 5-on-5 in the past four games and are averaging 18.4 shots on goal per game in the series.

Tocchet said there was more the players around Pettersson could do to help him get the puck in better positions to produce, but it's Pettersson who has to get himself going.

"If you don't move your feet, doesn't matter if you're playing with Wayne Gretzky or Mario Lemieux," Tocchet said. "You've got to move your feet."

Pettersson understands. He's focused on making that happen in Game 6.

"I've been trying to be the best player I can be every game and it hasn't gone my way," he said. "They always have a guy on me on the power play. They always play me hard. They play hard against everyone but obviously I'm going to have less time. But it's always up to me, doesn't matter what they do, I've still got to come up with a way."

‘It was always the boys down here’: Tanya Tucker joins long list of stars with bars on Broadway

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) – You may know her best for her hit Delta Dawn. Now 50 years later, Tanya Tucker is joining the likes of a number of stars with bars on Lower Broadway.

“It was always the boys down here on Broadway and there is another half to country music – us girls,” Tanya laughed, calling it a long-time dream.

The Country Music Hall of Famer kicked off the opening of Tanya Tucker’s Tequila Cantina Thursday afternoon by making a one of a kind entrance, riding a stallion on Broadway.

“Cosa Salvaje I call him, that’s his stage name. Really his name is Lauwe, but I call him Cosa Salvaje because he is the face of my tequila. Kind of like a mascot, so to speak,” she said.

In partnership with Nudie’s Honky Tonk, Tanya’s cantina is on the second floor of the Broadway bar and features her tequila brand Cosa Salvaje.

The country legend’s name is the latest in a growing list of stars with bars in Music City.

“From Garth Brooks to Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Luke Combs has a bar coming, everybody wants their name in neon on Broadway,” Nashville Historian David Ewing explained.

It’s a trend Ewing said took off in the last five to 10 years. Before that, most bars like Tootsies, Layla’s, and Robert’s boasted the owners’ names. Tanya is one of the few female artists to join the evolution.

“I always thought I’m one of the boys anyway,” Tanya laughed.

Ewing said Tanya represents the legacy of what the area of town used to be when the Grand Ole Opry was at the Ryman Auditorium until 1974.

“Tourists came down here because of the Ryman and the Opry then,” Ewing explained.

Ewing said before celebrity names, we had celebrity ownership on Broadway in the 1990s, with Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe and NASCAR Cafe.

“When Planet Hollywood opened, it was an all-star parade down Broadway of Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, and all the stars that owned those bars back then, and we thought we were cool. Now Nashville is the envy of any live music city in the country,” Ewing explained, saying Nashville not only has the music, but the star power to back it.

Now every few steps downtown leads to another venue with a celebrity name attached.

It’s a perk that gives fans a glimmer of hope that their favorite star may just show up at their bar.

“I’m probably going to be here every time I’m in Nashville doing something, because it’s not just a place I stick my name on, I’m a part of it,” said Tanya.
