What is a dray driver?

Dray drivers, also known as drayage drivers, are professional truck drivers who specialize in transporting shipping containers or cargo over short distances, typically between ports, rail terminals, and distribution centers. Their primary responsibility is to move freight quickly and efficiently within a local area, often as part of the supply chain connecting larger modes of transportation. Dray drivers play a critical role in logistics by ensuring that goods are transferred smoothly from ships or trains to warehouses or other transportation hubs.
