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 El Paso, 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.

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

Migrant surge prompts halt of cargo processing at El Paso bridge

EL PASO, Texas (NewsNation) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced it is temporarily suspending cargo processing at the Bridge of the Americas in El Paso as a way to help agents deal with a surge in migrant crossings.

The pause will free up border officers to help process migrants who cross illegally, but will force truckers who usually make that crossing to find other routes.

It is one of several fallback options CBP says it uses to make sure it can process migrants efficiently.

The last time a pause was enforced was back in April before the end of Title 42, a pandemic-era border policy. That’s when data shows the number of migrant crossings across the southern border plunged.

Now, the data reveals those numbers are creeping back up again in some sectors. El Paso data shows CBP migrant encounters are the highest since May.

Texas Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland, a former Border Patrol officer, says this is not a good sign.

“At the ports of entry, you have field operation officers, and they’re there to make sure legitimate trade and travel passes to and from the United States. So we’re taking those people from those ports of entry to help Border Patrol because there’s simply not enough border patrol agents,” Cleveland said.

Truckers who use the Bridge of the Americas will instead need to go through other crossing points in New Mexico and Texas.

In April, officials suspended all commercial operations for three days at the same bridge for the same reason.

The head of a truckers’ association in Juarez, Mexico, told Border Report back then that the detours and long lines could cost the industry $10 million per day.

Last week, CBP also closed Ped West, a pedestrian border crossing between Tijuana and San Diego, to free up additional officers to help with migrant processing. CBP facilities in the San Diego area have been over capacity, with agents dropping off hundreds of migrants in daily street releases.

“CBP is working according to plan and as part of our standard processes to quickly decompress the areas along the southwest border, and safely and efficiently screen and process migrants to place them in immigration enforcement proceedings consistent with our laws,” CBP said in a statement.

Additionally, street releases of dozens of migrants in rural Cochise County in Arizona last week are prompting concern and frustration among local officials.

“We don’t have the basic essentials and needs that most people have. That’s why they take them to urban areas where they have more logistical support,” Cochise County Sheriff Mark Dannels said.

The Mexican government said cargo processing at the Juarez-El Paso crossing should open in two or three days, according to Reuters.

However, U.S. officials have not given a timeline to when the crossing will reopen.

An El Paso cryptocurrency investor who squandered his clients' money by financing a high life of luxury cars, private jets and diamond jewelry has been sentenced to seven years in federal prison, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Tuesday.

Abner Alejandro Tinoco, 27, was convicted of wire fraud in a $9 million Ponzi-style scheme with his company, Kikit & Mess Investments, which deceived investors by using their money to finance a luxury lifestyle, authorities said.

Kikit & Mess Investments was founded in 2020 and had its office in Downtown El Paso's upscale Mills Building. The company dissolved in June 2022, online corporate records showed.

In January, Tinoco pleaded guilty to five counts of wire fraud in U.S. District Court in El Paso following an investigation by the FBI El Paso's Complex Financial Crimes Task Force. He had faced up to 20 years in prison.

Federal prosecutors said that Tinoco solicited millions of dollars from investors by claiming he was managing "customized client portfolios" to trade in cryptocurrency and foreign exchange markets.

Out of more than $9 million in investments, Tinoco spent more than half on personal expenses, including luxury cars, chartered private jets, real estate and jewelry, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Texas said in a statement. Some funds were misrepresented as "profits" to his clients as part of the Ponzi scheme.

'Fraudster' spent money on Lamborghini, horses

Among items purchased by Tinoco were three homes in the Upper Valley and West Side, a leased Lamborghini given to a Beverly Hills diamond dealer in exchange for diamonds, and two horses named Velvet Jac and The Perfect Pair, according to a report by a court-appointed receiver tasked with recovering investors' lost money.

In a separate civil case, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission obtained a civil consent decree against Tinoco and his business, imposing a ban on trading activity, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. The Department of Justice is working on getting restitution for Tinoco's victims. A restitution hearing is scheduled for next year.

"This defendant manufactured a predatory scheme, investing less than half a percent of funds from over a dozen victims who trusted him with millions of dollars in investments," U.S. Attorney Jaime Esparza for the Western District of Texas said in a statement.

"We will continue to strongly prosecute rapacious fraudsters who take advantage of unsuspecting victims while also holding the defendants responsible for those victims' lost funds," Esparza said.

Sophomore quarterback Jake Fette has certainly come a long way in his first year on the Del Valle varsity football team.

Playing at a high level, Fette has helped lead the Conquistadores to an 8-1 overall record and 4-0 mark in District 1-5A Division I headed into Friday's home against Bel Air, which is 3-1 in district play. It is the final regular season game for both teams.

"Jake is poised, he's confident and he's stepped up at key times for us," Del Valle coach Rudy Contreras said. "He's getting better all the time and he's working hard to be the best he can be."

The 6-foot-2, 180-pound Fette has passed for 1,943 yards and 23 touchdowns and rushed for another 288 yards and 11 touchdowns. And that's with missing a portion of two games early in the season as he recovered from a concussion. Fette has been key to Del Valle's seven-game win streak since an early season loss to Pebble Hills.

"It's been a growing experience for me this season and I've learned a great deal," Fette said. "I've grown more comfortable as the season has gone on and it's been a great team effort to get where we are today. Guys have stepped up when we've had injuries and have done a great job. Every game has been a learning experience for me and I'm enjoying the process. Friday's game is a big one for us, we want to close out the regular season with a district title and have momentum going into the playoffs."

Fette was a key contributor on the varsity basketball team last season, which made the playoffs. That experience has helped him prepare for the varsity football level.

"Playing varsity basketball was great for me last season," Fette said. "I learned a lot about pressure situations and playing against good, skillful athletes and dealing with the physical aspect of the game."

Fette also competes in track and field, but it's football that is his passion. His father, Rick, was played defensive end at UTEP from 1999-2002, has been a major influence in his career and currently is an assistant coach for Del Valle, where he has coached for 15 seasons.

"We had a good quarterback last season in Jesse Ramos and it was going to be tough to come after him," Rick said. "I was worried about Jake in that spot, but he's always exceeded my expectations, he's always been successful. I've been impressed with how he has handled things and he never gets rattled even when things are nerve wracking."

Added Jake: "My dad has been a great supporter in my life and he's influenced me in so many ways. He wants me to love the game and be happy doing it. He has a great knowledge of the game and loves the game so much."
