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 San Antonio, TX 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

SAN ANTONIO – The San Antonio Food Bank fights hunger year-round, and for Hunger Action Month, KSAT 12 is showing how food is helping children thrive and learn.

Elizabeth Morales of the Office of Family and Community Engagement at Burbank High School said the donated food has significantly impacted the students’ lives.

“We had a lot of students, especially after COVID, that lost a lot of family members that were in charge of the household, and they had nowhere to go,” Morales said. “During that time, a lot of services that were provided and let’s deliver to the house to make sure they actually eat and that’s when we discovered so many situations,” Morales said.

SAISD, in partnership with the San Antonio Food Bank, has hosted several food distribution events to help families in need over the last few years.

Students, including Burbank High School senior Jose Herrera, have also gotten involved in giving back.

“I know that when I’m hungry, and I eat, even though it’s something small like an apple or a banana, it fills me up,” Herrera said. “Having that feeling of not having anything in your stomach, it feels horrible. You feel sick. You feel nauseous.”

Herrera wants to make sure people in our community don’t experience hunger and is one of the students taking action against hunger. It’s a topic close to his heart.

“Me and my family used to live in a shelter, so we do know about that struggle,” Herrera said. “Having to be home at a certain time and not knowing if we were going to eat that day. Not knowing if we are going to have money for clothes for school, supplies.”

Herrera says they are in a better situation today and now focus on giving back.

He joined his football teammates to help distribute food the San Antonio Food Bank provided.

“I have teammates that have been there before, that I’ve known for a while, that have been through that struggle,” Herrera said. “So, we share our stories while we are out there. We will talk to the people too. Have little conversation with them. Get to know them so they can leave with a smile.”

KSAT is hosting a hungry action town hall on Friday at 2:30 p.m., where you will hear from the San Antonio Food Bank leaders and learn how to give back.

San Antonio gets first nonstop flight to Europe

...

San Antonio International Airport will get its first nonstop flight to Europe when Condor adds service to Frankfurt, Germany, next summer.

Why it matters: The flight raises San Antonio's global profile and accomplishes a longtime goal of elected officials and business leaders.

Plus, Frankfurt is an international business hub. A nonstop flight opens up potential for new business growth in the Alamo City.

Context: The move comes as the city is in the early stages of a $2.5 billion airport revamp intended in part to attract such flights.

What they're saying: "This is probably the most historic announcement we could make with regard to air service in San Antonio," Mayor Ron Nirenberg told reporters. "There is a strong belief in the future of air service in San Antonio."

Details: German airline Condor will launch nonstop service on May 17, 2024. It will initially run through Sept. 6, 2024, after which the airline will determine future frequency, Mikko Turtiainen, director of sales of the Americas for Condor, told reporters.

Zoom in: San Antonio currently offers international flights to just five cities in Mexico: Cancun, Guadalajara, Leon, Mexico City and Monterrey.

Driving the news: Condor's decision shows demand in San Antonio to travel to Europe, officials said.

Yes, but: Officials want Germans and Europeans to visit San Antonio more, too, and will launch new efforts to market the city internationally.

State of play: While San Antonio International is loved for its quick and easy access, it has long been the target of complaints from business leaders and residents fed up with limited nonstop flights and a plain atmosphere.

By the numbers: Officials expect a $34 million economic impact to San Antonio as a result of the flight, Nirenberg says.

The big picture: San Antonio is in the midst of a decades-long overhaul of San Antonio International Airport.

Between the lines: Design for the new terminal includes extra space for more international flights. The new terminal can house up to three wide-body aircraft, typically used on international flights, at a time.

What's next: Grab your passport and your travel pillow and get ready to book. Tickets are on sale now.

SAN ANTONIO – The Department of Education awarded Texas A&M University-San Antonio a four-year, $1.5 million grant to help further strengthen the state’s multilingual teacher shortage.

What will the grant support?

Funds from the grant will support scholarships and resources to boost the number of multilingual teachers in communities and schools with a highly diverse student population.

A&M-San Antonio will apply the grant to its College of Education and Human Development to focus efforts on recruiting, training, and retaining bilingual and ESL educators.

Several certificates will be enabled thanks to the grant, including scholarships for 60 students pursuing a degree in bilingual education.

“This particular grant will help increase the multilingual teacher pipeline,” said Dr. Esther Garza, associate professor and chair of the university’s Department of Educator and Leadership Preparation program in the College of Education and Human Development. “It will help us support students who are pursuing bilingual education and ESL education in terms of scholarships, and it will also help with their certification costs.”

Data from the Learning Policy Institute — a nonprofit that conducts research to improve education policy and practice in the U.S. — suggests Texas “has had a teacher shortage driven by high attrition rates for decades,” a study found.

A&M-San Antonio’s plans

To begin to address the shortage, the university is developing a pipeline with students at the middle, high school and community college levels.

These efforts will focus on existing partnerships the university has within the community — specifically, the Edgewood, Harlandale and Southwest school districts.

The partnership also includes the Alamo Colleges.

“This collaborative effort of our bilingual program faculty, led by Dr. Garza, will address the critical shortage of teachers in the critical area of bilingual and multilingual education,” Dr. Amy Lewis, interim dean for the College of Education and Human Development, said.

As A&M-San Antonio begins to foster a new generation of multilingual educators, Garza hopes the university may become a model for development, training and retention.

“Our hope is to become a hub for multilingual teacher preparation, development, growth, and professionalism,” Garza said. “Our hope is that other institutions will replicate our model.”
