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 Jacksonville, FL 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

2024 NFL schedule rumors: Jaguars expected to play back-to-back games in London for second straight season

The Jacksonville Jaguars made NFL history last season when they became the first team ever to be sent to London for two straight games, and the trip was such a success that it looks like the Jags are going to be doing it again in 2024.According ...

The Jacksonville Jaguars made NFL history last season when they became the first team ever to be sent to London for two straight games, and the trip was such a success that it looks like the Jags are going to be doing it again in 2024.

According to Jacksonville.com, the Jaguars are expected to play back-to-back games in London this year with one game coming as the home team and one coming as the visiting team. The Jags' home game will be played at Wembley Stadium against a currently unknown opponent, while their away game is expected to come against the Chicago Bears at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The two games will likely be played in October, which is exactly what happened when the Jags got sent to London for two games last season. In 2023, the Jaguars spent Week 4 AND Week 5 in London. First, they beat the Falcons, 23-7, as the home team, and then they followed that up a week later by beating the Bills, 25-20, as the visiting team.

With the Jags going 2-0 last year, they were probably more than willing to get sent overseas for another two-game trip this year. Since the two-game experiment worked out so well, there's a chance that we could see the Jags get sent for three straight games at some point. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell left the door open for that possibility when he was asked about it last year.

"We like to take things in increments," Goodell said in May 2023. "I think one of the things we always focus on -- pretty much with everything we do, but I'll put it specifically to the international games -- is to learn from our experience every year. To try something a little different and understand the impact of that."

If the NFL decides to send a team for three straight games, the Jags would almost certainly be the perfect team to send. Not only have they embraced playing in London, but their home stadium is expected to undergo renovations in the very near future. When that happens, there's a chance the Jags could be forced out of the building for the 2026 or 2027 seasons (or both).

If the Jags are homeless for either of those two seasons, that would open the door for the NFL to possibly hand them more games in London. For now, though, it's looking like the Jaguars are getting two games for the 2024 season, but that won't be confirmed for sure until the schedule is actually released later this month.

If the Jags are in London for two games, that will mark the 12th and 13th time they've played in England, which means that by the end of the 2024 season, they'll have played twice as many London games as any other team in the NFL.

For the 2024 season, the NFL will be playing a total of five international games, and the league has already announced the home team for each game. On the European side, the Jaguars, Vikings and Bears will each host a game in London while the Panthers will be hosting a game in Munich. The NFL is also adding a game in Brazil for 2024, which will feature the Eagles serving as the home team in a Week 1 game against the Packers.

‘I think it’s a travesty’: UNF students left wondering what’s next after DEI programs cut

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of North Florida’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion shut down to comply with state laws prohibiting state colleges from using public funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.RELATED: ...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The University of North Florida’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion shut down to comply with state laws prohibiting state colleges from using public funds for diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

RELATED: Florida prohibits state colleges from using public funds for diversity, equity, inclusion initiatives

As a result, some students are wondering what’s next now that the programs are gone.

“I think it’s a travesty we’re shutting down such great resources,” Emily Roles, a UNF student said.

The resources Roles are talking about include the school’s LGBTQ+, Women’s, Interfaith and Intercultural centers.

Those programs officially closed because they fall under the school’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion.

During a Florida Board of Governors meeting in January, the board voted to support a bill that would prohibit state colleges and universities from spending federal money on DEI initiatives.

In January, students on campus rallied against this vote.

Roles said she wishes the school didn’t lose the women’s center.

“It makes me feel sad and quite frankly a little bit frightened because although nothing has happened to me personally, I’m sure there’s people who stuff has happened to and they’ve needed to reach out to the women’s center for help and with that thing not there they might not have a support system,” Roles said.

For example, the women’s center used to offer programs like a lounge to express themselves in a safe space, an area where mothers could go to breastfeed or express milk, and organized programs to raise awareness of domestic violence.

Other centers within the office provided programs like:

Even though today is the first day those programs are closed, they’ve already been wiped from the web. UNF’s website shows “page cannot be found” when looking for programs like the Women’s Center.

Now that the programs are closed, UNF stated how students will be able to receive the services those programs provided.

“The University offers resources and support services available to all students, including health and counseling services. The Victim Advocacy Program, which was part of the Women’s Center, now operates out of the Dean of Students Office. In addition, student clubs are not affected by this law and may remain active,” a UNF spokesperson said.

The school said some staff members from the offices that were part of the Office of Diversity and Inclusion have left the university for other job opportunities, and the remaining employees have moved to other open positions in the university.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Parents of San Pablo Elementary School were able to ask Duval County Public School Board Member April Carney and Chief of Staff Corey Wright questions about their neighborhood school on Tuesday, as conversations about its possible closure were front and center.

"It was great to be out tonight listening to everybody’s voices," said Carney. "I think now that we’re able to have more conversations after that analysis came out and let everybody know, 'Listen, we are in this together, we’re gonna walk through this together as a community.' I think it’s gonna be a little bit more [of a] calm way to get together and find more solutions as a community."

Laura Sanders is a mother of three San Pablo students. She said she came out to hear directly from school district leaders.

"I mean, I want our school to stay open," Sanders told First Coast News. "We want to see what the future holds for our school. We’re all very concerned about some of the proposed plans and how it’s going to affect our little community school here. I still have a lot of questions. I feel like while a lot of bigger picture topics were discussed tonight, it wasn’t really hit on how our school is going to be affected."

Sanders wasn't the only parent wanting questions answered. Others in the crowd asked Carney a wide range of questions from the school's potential closure and consolidation to the role the district's charter school plays.

"I mean, I believe in school choice, all our children were created uniquely and everybody’s needs are different and nobody knows their child better than a parent," said Carney.

Carney reiterated to parents this is still a proposal and no final decisions are being made right now.

"Every board member is committed to working with their communities to hear voices, come up with solutions and engage," Carney said.

DCPS is planning to host community meetings across the city to gather feedback from parents in May and June.

In the fall, the school district will have small focus groups to start looking at different solutions.
