Detroit intermodal transport & drayage

The trucking connection
your container needs.

Drayage connects an intermodal container with the next stop in its journey. Share the terminal, destination, release status, and timing so we can review your move.

Shipping containers stacked for transport

Keep the full container move in view.

Intermodal transportation involves more than a pickup address. Terminal procedures, container availability, releases, appointment windows, equipment arrangements, and the return location can all affect the trucking portion of a move.

Courtesy Transfer reviews drayage requests with those details in mind. Whether you are coordinating a pickup or planning the next container move, provide the terminal or facility name and the delivery requirements at the beginning of the conversation.

Do not assume that terminal access, a special credential, cross-border handling, or a particular lane is available. Our team will confirm the job’s fit before scheduling. If you need a container set on the ground, include that separately so the required handling can be reviewed.

Container and release

Include the container number, booking or pickup reference, shipping line if applicable, and the release or availability status.

Schedule and destination

For dispatch review

Already have the booking details?

Our job submission form gives existing and prospective customers a place to send container numbers, booking references, pickup and cutoff dates, addresses, and billing information. Submitting the form does not confirm acceptance or dispatch.

If timing is close or a terminal detail changes, call 313-554-4800. A web request should not be relied on as an urgent dispatch channel.

Good to know

Questions before you get started

What is drayage?

Drayage is the trucking leg of an intermodal container move, often connecting a terminal with a warehouse, customer site, or another facility. The exact pickup, delivery, equipment, and return requirements depend on the shipment.

Can you confirm a specific terminal or route?

Yes, contact our team with the actual terminal, destination, and dates for a service-fit review. This website does not represent a guarantee of access to every terminal or availability on every route.

What if my release or pickup date changes?

Contact Courtesy directly with the updated information. If you already submitted a job request, reference the container or booking number so the team can match the change to the correct job.
