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 Tulsa, OK 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

Tulsa Retirement Community Residents Devastated After Order To Vacate

TULSA, Okla. -

People who live at The Broadmoor Retirement Community in Tulsa are in shock after they were all told they had 30 days to pack up everything they own and find a new place to live.

Residents said they've been worried for months something like this would happen.

Now that it has, they're scrambling for a new place to live in a short amount of time.

Tracy Willbanks has been living at The Broadmoor since December 2022.

She was devastated to find out she would have to pack up and leave.

"I had just gotten myself situated, I love the place,” said Willbanks. “We all do. We all love the place, we built a family here."

Willbanks said she doesn't want to lose the family she created at The Broadmoor.

"A lot of us don't have family. I don't have family,” said Willbanks. “So knowing that we're all going to be split up from each other, is heartbreaking. It's frustrating, it's maddening."

The Broadmoor sent a note to all the residents saying, “we understand that this news may come as a shock and may cause some disruption in your daily lives. Please know that we are committed to providing you with support and assistance during this difficult time."

Ken Potter moved in to The Broadmoor in February and wishes he would have known this was going to happen.

"I think that people really need to look, particularly when they're moving into another place, the pros and cons,” said Potter. “And really have a good feeling about it."

Life Senior Services said senior housing has become harder to find, so these residents may be stuck with no plan of where to go next.

"Nothing's permanent, unfortunately," said Willbanks. “Our homes can go in a matter of moments."

The Executive Director of The Broadmoor declined our request for comment.

TULSA, Okla. — The Tulsa County Sheriff's Office is asking for the public's help in finding a man from Owasso who disappeared over the weekend.

57-year-old Timothy Vanmatre was reported missing on Saturday evening. His girlfriend found his Subaru about an hour later.

"I'm very concerned that something bad happened to him," said Emily Smith, Vanmatre's daughter.

Detectives said Vanmatre is a tri-athlete and is known to work out near 66th Street North and Mingo area, where his car was found.

"He has helped me through the toughest times of my life and this definitely supersedes all of that and I don't know how to navigate this without him," said Smith.

Emily Smith, Vanmatre's daughter, said she got a call Saturday from her dad's girlfriend who said they got into a small disagreement and he went to cool off. His girlfriend found his car abandoned near 66th Street North and Mingo about an hour after he left the house.

He didn't have his phone or wallet with him.

"Just an immediate sinking feeling in my stomach when it was getting close to 20 degrees outside and just knowing that he was out there alone and not knowing if he was safe or not it was terrifying," said Smith.

Deputies spent most of the day Sunday searching the area where the car was found.

"Yeah, we're obviously concerned that's why we're trying to get ahead of this while we can," said Corporal Christoper Garrison with the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office.

Corporal Garrison says they brought out a K9, drone, and OHP's aircraft during their search, but they haven't located him.

Smith says her dad has missed work and several commitments.

"I can't imagine that he would leave and not say anything," said Smith. "That's extremely out of character for him."

Right now, investigators don't suspect foul play but they say they want him found.

"The Sheriff's Office isn't going to sit on our hands basically," said Corporal Garrison. "We're going to try to get ahead of the game and get the ball rolling and do some investigating to see if we can find a good starting point."

Corporal Garrison says they've done a hand-full of interviews but don't have any witnesses who saw him in the north Tulsa county area.

Vanmatre is 5' 10" and weighs 175 pounds. He was last sen wearing blue jeans, a green jacket and tennis shoes.

Anyone with information or who may have seen who left Vanmatre’s vehicle near 66th Street North and Mingo between 5 pm and 6 pm on Saturday is asked to call TCSO at 918-596-5600.

TULSA, OK – Just hours after failing to hold a late, two-run lead in a loss to Wichita Tuesday night, the Tulsa Drillers suffered no such fate on Wednesday morning at ONEOK Field. The Drillers held a 2-0 lead for most of the game before Imanol Vargas doubled the margin in the eighth inning with his second homer of the season.

A trio of Tulsa pitchers made the four runs hold up as they combined to blank the Wind Surge and give the Drillers a 4-0 victory.

The win ended a two-game losing streak for the Drillers and improved their season record to 7-4.

BOX SCORE

As they did in Tuesday’s loss, the Drillers took their 2-0 lead early. With one out in the bottom of the third, ninth-place hitter Carson Taylor and leadoff man Jonny DeLuca drew consecutive walks. Jorbit Vivas followed with a single to left that brought Taylor home from second with the game’s first run.

After a wild pitch moved the baserunners to second and third, Andy Pages plated the second run of the inning with a sacrifice fly.

It remained 2-0 until the home run from Vargas in the bottom of the eighth. With a runner a first, the Tulsa first baseman hit a line drive that struck the top of the fence in right field before caroming over and into the bullpen, giving the Drillers a four-lead.

Starting pitcher Nick Frasso came within three outs of qualifying for his first win of the season. The right-hander worked four shutout innings with two strikeouts before turning things over to the bullpen. The outing lowered Frasso’s season ERA to 1.38.

Tulsa starting pitcher Nick Frasso began the game with four shutout innings. Rich Crimi

Tanner Dodson was next to the mound, and he kept the shutout intact and did not allow a hit in three scoreless frames
