Any questions I had about drayage were answered on this episode. Awesome! Awesome!

[@nikkib5085]

So as a broker, you'd contact the shipping lines or the container owners to do intermodal and drayage.

[@Freight360]

You can, but shipping lines are very large companies with long sales cycles. I’d start with Freight Forwarders.

[@azizwinborne8899]

Great question💯 new broker over here. Would luv to network if possible.

@@Freight360 what does it mean when a broker says "you must be able to pin your own container/box"?

[@Freight360]

@@sahirahross8290 They're referring to how the containers are secured to the chassis. They have pins that connect them.

Excellent information, I have my permits with the aiiu, but now I don't know how to find clients, can you help me?

[@Freight360]

Yes, send your contact info to [e-mail]

[@THEHIGAADINSTITUTE]

What tools do you use for rates of intermodal shipments? Also how do we get started?

[@Freight360]

We suggest contacting the carriers in the market you'll be working in, and ask for their tariff rates. Do this with a handful of carriers to determine the market. A rate won't do you much good without a carrier willing and able to move it for you.

[@mekichey129]

Great content. Learned alot. Thank you!

[@Freight360]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@usa174]

To find drayage customers are you guys contacting companies that import from overseas? Walmart, etc. Or the shipping companies themselves? Maersk, etc. Customs agents? Curious how to tap into this niche. Who's paying the bills for that shipment? I'd imagine cross docking / storage services would be a good business around the ports.

Is it possible for you guys to do a video on how to rate bill for export?

[@Freight360]

Are you asking for a video explaining how to get rates for exports?

[@sahirahross8290]

@@Freight360 no, how to bill a rail yard for an export.

[@Freight360]

@@sahirahross8290 you wouldn’t be sending a bill to a rail yard unless your customer is the rail road. There is a process called rail billing that doesn’t have anything to do with invoices. It refers to the process of getting the info to the rail road so they know where the container is going.

[@Calivala]

So freight doesn't get posted on any loadboard for drayage?

[@Freight360]

You’ll see it occasionally on DAT or other load boards. There’s also Drayage.com. There’s a lot there.

[@lamontedwards9293]

So a carrier has to be registered with each shipping company to pull their containers?

[@Freight360]

You'll need to be tendered the loads by the company responsible for their delivery. If you're a carrier, you'll need to be registered with the UIIA.
