FAQ´S
The import process involves picking up the container at the port or ramp before its loading dock, then transporting it to the warehouse for unloading, which can be either live or drop-off and pick. The empty container is returned to the loading dock after the delivery process is complete.
When we’re you talking about exports, the process begins picking up the empty container at the Port or Ramp, then it is taken to the warehouse for loading, which can be live load or drop and pick. Finally, a container is taken to the port or ramp with its contents.
The cost of the dray from the port is cheaper, and it’s more competitive when the lane is long. The containers are usually moved to these places via rail, in order to save money by keeping the dray at the lowest possible distance.
