Legal Definitions - drayage

Definition: Drayage is a fee charged for transporting goods or cargo from one place to another.

Example 1: A company needs to move their products from a warehouse to a port for shipment. They hire a trucking company to provide drayage services to transport the goods to the port.

Example 2: An individual purchases a large piece of furniture from a store. The store charges a drayage fee to deliver the furniture to the customer's home.

These examples illustrate how drayage is a charge for transporting property. In both cases, a fee is paid to a transportation provider for moving goods from one location to another.
