What makes for a great drayage carrier, and how do you find them?

In any mode of logistics, carrier vetting is one of the top priorities for a 3PL. Carrier vetting becomes an even more important and meticulous  process when you're dealing with drayage moves.

Whether its safety credentials, customs clearance or being active in the system of all major steamship lines more is required of a dray carrier then a typical OTR carrier. Add in the intricacies of each individual depot, port or railhead and the probability of issues that will lead to wasted time and money are high.
