Where Houston 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.

The chassisfrom the pull on day 3, first days in the price
In the priceExtra chassis days, per dayExtra days
The box, outsidefrom the pull
Free days from the ship lineFree daysPer diem, until the empty is backPer diem
Free, or in the price Billed per day, only if it runs

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.
