Where Chicago drayage fees come from
Three clocks run on every import box. Pull it and return the empty inside them, and the only bill is the price you booked.
Pre pullPull the box to a yard before the last free day, and pay yard storage instead of demurrage.
Chassis splitThe chassis waits at a different yard than the box, so the driver collects it first.
Dry runThe truck arrives and the box can't be pulled, a hold or a missed appointment.
