## What is drayage?

Drayage is the transportation of a full ocean container via truck. A full container will be loaded onto a chassis and trucked to a nearby warehouse or rail ramp.

Drayage may incur a [drayage base fee](https://www.flex.thisisbrew.com/help/drayage-base-fee/).

If the destination is not local, the full container will need to be [transloaded](https://www.flex.thisisbrew.com/glossary/transloading/) into an FTL.
