The Drayrates Concept

The Current State of Drayage Pricing

The drayage industry faces significant challenges with its traditional pricing methods that haven't evolved with modern technology:

Manual and Time-Consuming Processes

• Rate collection requires hours of manual research and data entry
• Pricing specialists spend valuable time gathering outdated information
• Quote generation involves multiple manual calculations and verifications
• Market research is done through inefficient phone calls and emails
• Historical data analysis is limited and often inaccurate

Lack of Market Visibility

• No centralized source of real-time market rates
• Limited understanding of competitive positioning
• Difficulty in tracking market trends and patterns
• Incomplete view of regional price variations
• Poor visibility into seasonal pricing impacts

Inconsistent Pricing Decisions

• Rates vary significantly for similar services
• Pricing decisions based on incomplete information
• Inconsistent margin calculations across quotes
