Drayage rates, itemised
Pick a lane, set the chassis days, tick the accessorials the move actually needs. Every line comes from the rate model on this page — per-mile line haul, fuel surcharge, chassis days and the accessorials below — not from a carrier's quote.
Representative figures — not a live feed. Turn times, congestion, free time and per-diem rates here are typical values for planning. No terminal feed is behind them, and free time and per diem are set by your ocean carrier and contract.
