Surprisingly, drayage has a history that stretches back much farther than many would suspect. While current methods for drayage utilize modern shipping and containing equipment, drayage actually predates the current industrial era and originated with older container types.
The term "drayage" comes from the name of a house-drawn cart referred to as a "dray". Because of physical limits of the horses used in this process, delivery only occurred over short distances, usually near marine ports, and railroad and canal terminals.
This methodology was utilized through the 19th Century until the early 1900s, at which time trucks became the standardized equipment for drayage.
