The ocean freight looks fine, then the trucking bill from the port or rail ramp comes in higher than planned. Here is what drayage really costs in 2026, and the extra charges to watch for.
Rate Validity
Drayage rates change every week with fuel prices, port congestion and truck capacity, so every quote is valid only for a set period. The sample port drayage and rail drayage rates in this post are as of October 29, 2026 and valid until November 12, 2026. Always confirm your rate before you book the truck.
All-In Rate vs. Base Rate + FSC
An all-in drayage rate puts line haul, fuel surcharge and agreed extras, such as chassis days, into one price. The rates in this post are simpler and include only:
Base rate — trucking from the pickup location to the delivery ZIP code.
Fuel surcharge (FSC) — based on current diesel prices.
Chassis, pre-pull, waiting time, detention, terminal fees and overweight charges are extra. All rates are for 20’ legal-weight containers only.
