Growing demand for connectivity and automation is reshaping container drayage operations, reported New York's FreightWaves.
Speaking on FreightWaves' Fuller Speed Ahead, Dennis Lane of CargoWise Landside highlighted industry-wide adoption of practical digital technologies. CargoWise Landside now hosts North America's largest network of drayage operators after multiple acquisitions.
Its platform integrates services like DrayMaster for rate quoting, SecurSpace for parking and storage, and GeoStamp Track for geofenced asset visibility. These tools aim to streamline container movements between terminals, depots and consignees.
Lane said small-to-mid-size drayage firms can now afford digital systems once exclusive to big players. Driver mobile apps have shifted from optional to essential tools for retention and workflow efficiency.
The sector faces declining capacity as carriers exit amid rising volumes, but Lane expects technology and data sharing to ease bottlenecks and improve margins. Carriers are now evaluated more for data accuracy than delivery timing.
With electric vehicle adoption, regulatory demands and growing customer expectations, Lane sees interoperability and end-to-end visibility as crucial next steps for the drayage industry's resilience and evolution.
