Today, more than 80% of global shipping involves containers. They're packed with everything from personal storage items in dry containers to heavy machinery on flat rack containers. For business owners shipping products, getting a container from point A to point B requires precise planning and high-level tracking. But that's easier said than done when global supply chains become over-congested, leading to loading time issues and delays.
That's bad news for business owners who are already under a massive amount of stress. The truth is that container storage delays can cripple a business, but there's a viable solution: drayage brokers in Detroit, MI like RelyEx. Drayage companies provide unique solutions to minimize demurrage and help ensure the successful delivery of your freight.
With more than 30 combined years of experience and a solutions-oriented team, RelyEx has quickly become the first choice for streamlined, efficient drayage services. To understand the true value of RelyEx's offerings in the global logistics industry, it helps to understand first what drayage is and why it's used.
If you're a seasoned business owner who uses port drayage to transport your products, you know exactly how important the service can be. But if you were to poll a group of random people, you may get five different definitions of the term "drayage." That begs the question, how is one of the most crucial steps in the supply chain and most vital components of global trade such a confusing concept? When you break it down, it's not too difficult to grasp.
Drayage, by definition, means the transportation of freight from an ocean port to another destination. Today, drayage is also used to describe the process of transporting products and goods over short distances or over "the first mile."
While drayage often means short-distance movements during the supply chain process, it's primarily used in the container shipping space. Drayage loads usually have arrival and departure points in the same city and don't include long-haul, national transportation.
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:
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.
QUOTE REQUESTRelyEx was created because our founders saw a need in the logistics space for more reliability and efficiency. The reality of the shipping and logistics industry is that it has become very transactional.

Our team of container drayage experts provides your business with unique solutions to nuanced shipping problems, minimizing demurrage and ensuring the successful delivery of your freight.
Demurrage is a charge issued by a port, carrier, or railroad company for storing containers that do not load and unload their cargo promptly. Once the daily limit of free time is exceeded, shippers are charged daily demurrage fees until their cargo is shipped. Though different ports have different policies, charges can range from $75 to $150 per container, per day, for a set number of days. Additional demurrage fees are incurred if a shipper exceeds the port's parameters.
Even when shippers maintain a tight schedule for unloading freight, external factors can play an uncontrollable part. Typically, shipping mistakes caused by human error trigger the most demurrage charges. Some of the most common causes of demurrage include:
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.
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 REQUESTPaperwork 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:
At RelyEx, we know first-hand how stressful supply chain problems can be for business owners. Though drayage shipping might seem minor on the surface, it affects every stage of your shipping process. And when inevitable hurdles manifest, RelyEx propels you over the proverbial roadblocks with a proactive mindset and a passion for challenging projects.

IfIf you really want your hand on the pulse of what daily living and eating looks like in Detroit, a shopping district on Springwells Street situated between Vernor Highway and the Fisher Service Drive on the city’s southwest side provides residents and visitors with a visual juxtaposition of old and new — from a mostly Latinx food perspective. You won’t find overpriced condos and you’re several miles away from the nearest Whole Foods. Instead, you’ll find many of the signage of the area’s supermarkets, bakeries, auto mechanics, liquor stores, and barbershops are written in Spanish. Beyond the shops, lie some of the city’s underrated culinary treasures: Springwells is home to one of the largest concentrations of food trucks in the region, open year-round, rain, snow, or shine.
Southwest Detroit is somewhat unique within the city. It’s dense with people and many of the homes and storefronts maintain consistent occupancy. Throughout much of the 1990s, a wave of Mexican immigrants, mostly hailing from the highlands in the Mexican state of Jalisco, made their way to the Motor City, helping to rebuild the neighborhood at a time when much of the rest of the city was languishing as a result of disinvestment and compounded by decades of population loss. Residents here give personal touches to modest Midwestern kit homes, sometimes covering them in stucco or surrounding them in ornate iron fencing fabricated by Artistic Diseños — very much giving rancho vibes (a nod to la gente’s rural roots).
Here, century-old dive bars continue to serve as communal watering holes and bakeries sell conchas alongside birthday cakes. Each spring, a decades-old dairy stand, Family Treat, flings open its doors to the delight of residents for its soft-serve cones and crunchy Taco Tuesdays.
Within just under a mile, you’re bound to find at least seven — often more — food trucks and other street vendors set up for business at any given time. You just might come across a viral TikTok reviewer sampling a birria pizza from one of the trucks, and will inevitably spot some colorful wing-shaped signs advertising tacos, burritos, and tortas. Covered seating areas — some that incorporate patios with intricate brickwork — are the norm, inviting customers to stick around awhile rather than having to eat from parked cars. The customer base is a mix of long-haul truck drivers, construction workers, adventurous food seekers, and young families. Detroit may be one of the most segregated cities in America, but at the food trucks of Springwells, everyone comes together.
There’s a sense of community among the Springwells street food vendors.
Tacos el Caballo co-owner Jose Badajoz tells Eater that over the years, he’s served as the defacto fixer for new food truck owners in the city. If they’re unsure of how to apply for a license, they turn to him for advice. If they are new in town and need space to sell their food, he’s opened his lot to others (as is the case of a fruteria currently operating behind his truck). When a fire ripped through Michigan Avenue’s Tacos el Toro truck in 2023, it was Badajoz who provided the family-owned business with one of his other trucks.
Eater Detroit invited a handful of writers and photographers on a food crawl to learn more about the dishes that are emerging on Detroit’s low-key food truck corridor that continue to tell the story of Latin American migration to the Motor City and the foods that they’re bringing with them that are redefining what Midwest can be.
Parked next to the Sheila’s Bakery parking lot, sit a pair of mobile eateries. One trailer, Gorditas Cuerna, serves a variety of antojitos — street snacks that mostly incorporate blue corn masa, such as sopes, quesadillas, huaraches, pambazos, and tlacoyos. The women at this spot are among the many micro-business owners in Detroit producing handmade masa delicacies.
Next door is the Sergio’s Empanadas trailer, owned by Sergio Betancourt and his wife Diana Buitrago. The pair serve empanadas made with either corn or flour-based pastry and fill them with a choice of shredded or ground beef, pork, chicken, or shrimp. Buitrago, who is Venezuelan, tells Eater that soon, the couple will begin serving food typical of Ecuador, where her husband is from. Stick around, and you may find an elote vendor selling his mayo, tajin, and parmesan-dusted corn cobs from the trunk of his car parked on the street.
Further down the way, between Homer and Longworth streets the aroma of fiery birria will lead you to Tacos el Gordo — a food truck that serves what just might be the city’s first birria pizza, one of the myriad forms of birria that have taken off in recent years across the United States. Now available in Detroit, the birria can be swapped out for any of the truck’s other choices, like buche, cabeza, chorizo, or grilled steak, among others. Alondra Arias, who works at the food truck, tells Eater that the TikTok creator who goes by the name MrChimeTime visited the spot unannounced and ordered one of the pizzas, causing a frenzy for the dish. Arias was in Mexico at the time of his visit, but said that his impact was immediate.
“[We] were surprised because we would sell the pizza like not that much and when he posted the video, we would sell 20 pizzas or more a day,” she says. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays Tacos el Gordo sells upwards of 100 or more pizzas a day.
Across the street at Longworth, find Jose Badajoz and Nancy Paz, owners of Tacos el Caballo. Here, customers can enjoy a plate of tacos and a frosty glass bottle of Jarritos or Coke from a coverage patio area. For dessert, try a mangonada, a heaping cup of freshly cut fruit, or stock up on other Mexican candies and Takis from a fruteria that operates out of a trailer parked behind Tacos el Caballo.

Jalen Duren’s rookie season exceeded all reasonable expectations, earning him an invitation to USA Basketball’s summer session last year as part of the Select Team where he created nearly as much buzz as teammate Cade Cunningham. Then he played like an All-Star as the Pistons jumped to a 2-1 start to their 2023-24 season.
The rest of Duren’s season was marred by ankle injuries and clouded by the inconceivable onslaught of misfortune that defined the year for the Pistons.
But a reality check is in order. Duren remained one of the NBA’s youngest players in his second season after spending his rookie season as its absolute youngest. He won’t turn 21 until a month into his third season. The player who dazzled as a dunking, rebounding, shot-blocking menace in the season’s first week is still within Duren, waiting to emerge.
Here’s a look at Duren’s past, present and future:
PROFILE: 6-foot-10 center, 20 years old, 2 NBA seasons
2023-24 STATS: 13.8 points, 11.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists in 29 minutes a game
STATUS: Duren is entering year three of his four-year rookie scale contract as the No. 13 pick of the 2022 draft
DID YOU KNOW?: After his sophomore year of high school at Roman Catholic in Philadelphia – it ended before the state semifinals when the COVID-19 pandemic forced cancellation of the season – Duren transferred to Montverde Academy in Florida, where Cade Cunningham had just departed for his freshman season at Oklahoma State. It would be Duren’s only year at Montverde because prior to what would have been his senior season, Duren reclassified to the high school class of 2021 and announced his intention to play at the University of Memphis.
A LOOK BACK: Duren put himself on the national radar very early, which is what happens when you’re already the size of an NBA power forward before entering high school. Duren hit 6-foot-8 by the time he was an eighth-grader. As a high school freshman at Roman Catholic, Duren helped his team to the Catholic League title and was named second team all-state. He had overtaken Michigan prep standout Emoni Bates as the No. 1 player in his recruiting class by the time he made the decision to reclassify in order to make himself eligible for the 2022 NBA draft. Duren averaged 12.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks a game as a Memphis freshman and declared for the 2022 draft. The Pistons, after taking Jaden Ivey with their own pick at No. 5, maneuvered to get back into the first round by agreeing to a three-team trade that saw them take on Kemba Walker’s contract from the New York Knicks. He played 1,670 minutes as an NBA rookie in 67 games when he averaged 9.1 points and 8.9 rebounds and was named to the All-Rookie second team.
THE SEASON THAT WAS: Duren entered year two firmly established as the Pistons starting center and he got off to a phenomenal start. Through three games with the Pistons 2-1 and a Cade Cunningham buzzer triple that rimmed out in the opener at Miami from being 3-0, Duren averaged 18.0 points, 15.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.7 blocks while shooting 75 percent. Then, in the season’s fourth game, Duren suffered a sprained right ankle and saw his explosiveness and mobility limited for an extended period. Duren missed one game, played the next two, missed another and played two more before re-injuring the ankle in a Nov. 10 loss to Philadelphia. He sat the next five games, then returned on Nov. 24. Duren recorded double-doubles in five of the next six games before suffering a sprained left ankle in a Dec. 6 loss to Memphis that cost him the next eight games. Duren played in 24 consecutive games upon his return. Over the course of those games, Duren began to spread his wings some with the ball in his hands with many encouraging signs and some predictable hiccups for a 20-year-old delving into new territory. Thirteen times in a 27-game stretch that began on Feb. 7 Duren committed at least three turnovers. Duren displays a good shooting touch as evidenced by improving his free-throw percentage from 61.1 percent as a rookie to 79.0 percent in year two.
A LOOK AHEAD: Duren has every physical tool to be an All-Defense contender for the next dozen years given his strength, quickness, explosiveness, wingspan and agility. The impact hasn’t shown up consistently as a rim protector yet, but it’s rash to think it won’t blossom once Duren – still one of the youngest players in the league, not turning 21 until late November – racks up more repetitions. His high school career was shortened by one season with his decision to reclassify and he spent a single season in college and then was thrust into a starting role in the NBA at a position that requires a massive amount of processing on every possession. He’s doing it almost entirely on raw physical tools in the moment and while playing a pivotal position next to teammates barely more experienced.
MONEY QUOTE: “This hasn’t been the two years that anybody would have expected or wanted, but I really do truly believe God gives his toughest battles to the strongest soldiers. We went through a lot of adversity. The city’s seen it, the team felt it, but we’re a young team that’s hungry. I know you hear that a lot. You hear how hard we work and how much we’re committed, but we really are. We want to get better. We can grow as a team. We want to win, but it takes time and it takes camaraderie. We’re building that and I think we’re moving in the right direction.” – Jalen Duren on the season that was and the future of the Pistons

VANCOUVER — The BC Lions made a big splash ahead of 2024 training camp with the signing of National defensive lineman Christian Covington, the team announced on Wednesday.
The Lions originally selected Covington in round five (43rd overall) of the 2015 CFL Draft.
“It’s truly an honour to come home and play in front of my friends and family,” Covington said.
“I’ve continued to follow the Lions throughout my professional career and it gives me great excitement to join the team at a pivotal time in franchise history. We all understand and embrace the goal of bringing the Grey Cup back home.”

Covington (six-foot-two, 300 pounds)- moves back north after suiting up in 102 NFL games over the last nine seasons. A sixth-round draft pick of the Houston Texans in 2015, the big defensive tackle would suit up in 50 games with the squad while registering 39 combined tackles and 7.5 sacks.
He would also suit up in four total playoff games in his time with the Texans: 2015 AFC Wild Card Game, 2016 AFC Wild Card Game, 2016 AFC Divisional Game and 2018 AFC Wild Card Game.
Covington signed with the Dallas Cowboys for 2019 and racked up 28 combined tackles and a sack across 16 games. From there, he moved to the Cincinnati Bengals in 2020 where he suited up in 16 games with 39 combined tackles.
With the Los Angeles Chargers in 2021, Covington established a new career-high of 52 combined tackles plus one forced fumble in 16 games before appearing in four more contests with the Bolts in 2022. After attending 2023 training camp with the Detroit Lions, he would return for another stint with the Chargers and remained on their practice squad for the balance of the season.
Covington attended Rice University from 2011-14 with his best season coming in 2013 where he earned All-Conference USA First-Team honours after recording 43 total tackles, 11.5 tackles for a loss and four sacks.
He is the son of Canadian Football Hall of Fame inductee and former Hamilton star defensive end Grover Covington. Christian was a standout at Vancouver College, helping the Fighting Irish capture the 2010 BC High School championship while also earning Provincial Defensive MVP honours that season.

(FOX 2) - At the stroke of midnight, Comcast Xfinity dropped Bally Sports from its list of available channels, meaning those in Michigan wishing to watch the Detroit Tigers and use the service, cannot.
Bally Sports, which is owned by Diamond Sports and owns the rights to local sports broadcasting for the Tigers, Red Wings, and Pistons, has been struggling financially for years. It's currently restructuring its company through bankruptcy.
The parent company said it is continuing to seek an agreement to restore broadcasts.
"We hope that Comcast will recognize the important and mutually beneficial role Diamond and RSNs play in the media ecosystem," it said in a statement.
"It’s disappointing that Comcast rejected a proposed extension that would have kept our channels on the air and that Comcast indicated that it intends to pull the signals, preventing fans from watching their favorite local teams. Comcast has refused to engage in substantive discussions despite Diamond offering terms similar to those reached with much larger distributors of ours."
Bally Sports encouraged viewers to contact Comcast in an effort to restore broadcasting of local sports.
According to a statement on Xfinity's website, the carrier offered "multiple options" to continue showing games, but the provider "declined each one and we no longer have the rights to continue carrying their content."
The company said the loss of the channels would result in a credit being provided to customers.
"We know that unexpected changes to your channel lineup can be frustrating. We worked very hard to get Diamond Sports Group to come to a fair agreement for our customers, but they have refused, and as a result the Bally Sports regional sports networks are no longer available on Xfinity."
The move frustrated many viewers as coverage went dark at midnight.
The parent company said it is continuing to seek an agreement to restore broadcasts, but fans are upset.
The games can still be watched by downloading the Bally Sports app, which can be done here. Games are still viewable on Directv as well as the MLB TV for Tigers fans.
In early 2024, it was announced that Bally Sports coverage would shift to Amazon as part of the bankruptcy deal with Diamond Sports.
Diamond owns 18 networks under the Bally Sports banner. Those networks have the rights to 37 professional teams — 11 baseball, 15 NBA and 11 NHL. That includes Detroit's Red Wings, Pistons, and Tigers.
