Drayage Dispatch Services
Why Drayage Carriers Choose GLI Truck Dispatch as Their Trusted Dispatch Partner
GLI Dispatchers have Specialized Expertise in Port and Rail Drayage Dispatch
At GLI Truck Dispatch, we understand that drayage is unlike any other segment of trucking. Moving freight in and out of ports and rail ramps demands precision, speed, and deep regulatory knowledge. Our dispatchers are not only experienced—they’re specialists dedicated to navigating the complexities of drayage operations.
Proactive Appointment Scheduling and Turn Time Optimization
Time is money in drayage. Our team works ahead to secure terminal appointments, track container availability, and monitor free time and demurrage windows. By coordinating with port terminals and rail ramps proactively, we help you reduce driver dwell time and maximize turns per day—boosting both productivity and profitability.
Proactive Management of Free Time, Demurrage, and Detention
Intermodal freight can quickly become unprofitable if containers sit too long at the ramp. Our dispatchers monitor free time expiration, manage demurrage windows, and coordinate timely pickups and returns. If issues arise, we work directly with terminals and brokers to resolve them fast—protecting your bottom line.
Expert Coordination with Rail Carriers and Ramps
Each intermodal ramp—whether operated by BNSF, CSX, Norfolk Southern, or Union Pacific—has unique cut-off times, equipment procedures, and documentation requirements. Our dispatchers track container statuses in real time, confirm release instructions, and coordinate appointments to keep your operations running on schedule.
Optimal Equipment and Chasis Management
We understand that securing the right chassis is crucial to your profitability. Whether your operation relies on pool chassis, leased units, or your own fleet, GLI coordinates chassis pick-ups, tracks equipment status, and proactively manages interchange agreements to keep your moves on schedule.

How Is GLI Drayage Truck Dispatch Process Different from the Rest?
Dedicated Drayage Dispatch Team with Port and Intermodal Expertise
GLI dispatchers are trained in drayage and intermodal freight. They understand the nuances of port security protocols, UIIA interchange agreements, chassis provisioning, and rail ramp processes. This specialized focus means fewer mistakes, faster problem-solving, and smoother moves from start to finish.
Proactive Equipment and Compliance Vetting for Ports & Ramps
Every chassis, container, and terminal has its own requirements—and non-compliance means fees or delays. GLI screens container specs, verifies chassis pool compatibility, and confirms terminal entry rules before you roll. We flag special-cargo holds, oversized permits, and customs release requirements in advance to keep your moves penalty-free.
We Equip You with Real-Time Support for Port & Rail Disruptions
When there is vessel delays, rail ramp congestion, or chassis shortages strike, you need instant solutions. Our dispatchers monitor terminal status feeds 24/7, coordinate with on-dock rail operators and chassis providers, and push re-route instructions the moment conditions change. By troubleshooting gate blocks and container exceptions in real time through close communication with freight brokers, we protect your bottom line and your reputation.
We Help You Minimize Detention, Demurrage, and Idle Hours
Idle containers cost you—and your shippers—thousands in detention and demurrage fees. GLI negotiates fair free-time extensions, assists with terminal check-in procedures, and expediates chassis returns before cut-off. This commitment to swift turn-times keeps your trucks moving, your invoices clean, and your partners satisfied.
GLI Builds Your Brand as a Trusted Drayage Carrier
Drayage excellence is more than on-time moves, it requires professional timely communication and reliability. We handle booking confirmations, submit Proof of Delivery (POD) promptly, and provide reliable ETA updates to brokers and receivers. Carriers who partner with GLI earn reputation for consistency and precision and this helps unlock repeat business, better rates, and a lasting competitive edge.
