Because a drayage load can mean a few different things, confusion among carriers is common. Many carriers link drayage with going into a port, but that isn't always true. While all drayage loads typically originate from a port of entry, there are often several legs of a drayage journey before a container turns up at its final stop. Legs of a drayage load may include:

Why Are Drayage Companies in Hoboken, NJ So Important?

You may be thinking, what's so important about drayage? It's such a small step in the container storage transport process. In reality, it's an integral piece needed in the logistics industry and a crucial part of U.S. supply chain management.

To truly understand the importance of drayage, let's use flowers as an example. Most cut flower shipments enter the market from areas in South America until they end up at Dutch auction houses. Once there, wholesalers purchase flowers in bulk and send those products to retail outlets worldwide. Because flowers are perishable, they typically need to be refrigerated and are often shipped in reefer containers. These refrigerated vessels must maintain a certain temp to prevent loss.

Drayage companies like RelyEx allow flower shippers to send their products from Argentinian ports to airports in the Netherlands with peace of mind because their products are protected. The only way to accomplish this feat is with the help of swift, meticulous port drayage services. Drayage companies allow flower shippers to send their products from Argentinian ports to airports in the Netherlands with peace of mind, because their products are protected. The only way to accomplish this feat is with the help of swift, meticulous port drayage services.

If port drayage is compromised, it can cause delays and even fines. You know the packages you get delivered to your front door from apps like Amazon? Without drayage and drayage brokers, one or two-day shipping times wouldn't even be possible.

As a multi-billion-dollar industry in the U.S. alone, it seems like drayage shipping issues shouldn't exist. But the fact is inefficiencies and congestion are still major problems at ports. Whether it's a lack of carriers, absent chassis, or overburdened terminals, delays lead to missed deadlines, lost revenue, and worse.

But anytime challenges exist, so too do innovative solutions.

Paperwork Errors

Typically, shippers need four specific documents to clear shipments through customs: A Bill of Lading (or BOL), a commercial invoice, a packing list, and an arrival notice. Seasoned drayage brokers like RelyEx are used to preparing these documents, but new shippers tend to miss this step due to inexperience.

Payment Delays

If a shipper only pays for part of their shipment, a vessel operator may refuse to release their freight until their bill is fully paid. Payment delays lead to cargo detention at the port of entry, which triggers demurrage charges.

Documents Received Too Late

Paperwork is needed when you're shipping goods with a drayage company. When documents like the Certificate of Origin or Bill of Lading arrive at their destination late, you can expect demurrage fees. RelyEx avoids this situation entirely by being proactive when submitting paperwork.

Additional causes for demurrage fees can include:

  • Damaged Container Storage
  • Custom Released Containers
  • Storage Containers Are Too Heavy

The City of Hoboken completed its first Climate Stocktake & “mini-COP”, an inclusive and collaborative event that brought together nearly 50 stakeholders, to evaluate the City’s climate action and sustainability initiatives. This crucial assessment will be used to identify gaps and update the City’s Climate Action Plan, originally drafted in 2019, to help accelerate efforts to combat climate change.

"Our recent Climate Stocktake is a powerful testament to Hoboken's collective commitment to a sustainable future,” said Mayor Ravi S. Bhalla. “We understand the need to reevaluate our Climate Action Plan to ensure our city is best prepared for the challenges of tomorrow, while promoting climate justice and equity. I thank all the residents and community members who participated. Your invaluable input will help us as we move forward to updating our Climate Action Plan in the year ahead and I look forward to gathering more feedback from the community in the coming months."

The Climate Stocktake & mini-COP, comprised of stakeholders from local academic institutions, municipal offices, volunteer organizations, youth organizations, and the business community, featured three roundtable discussions, each focusing on a vital aspect of climate action:

City planners will analyze feedback gathered from the Climate Stocktake & mini-COP to inform future policies, legislative measures, and projects. The insights gathered will also contribute to the global conversation on climate action through Hoboken’s participation in the upcoming COP28 in Dubai.

Born after Superstorm Sandy’s destruction, 2 big flood control projects get underway in New Jersey

HOBOKEN, N.J. (AP) — A decade after they were first envisioned in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy ’s destruction, two of the largest flood control projects designed to protect the densely populated cities of New Jersey that lie just outside New York City finally got underway Wednesday.

A project in Hoboken, which was inundated by flooding during the 2012 storm, and another in the densely populated Meadowlands region, which also saw catastrophic flooding, kicked off. The projects will cost nearly $298 million and are designed to protect some of the region’s most vulnerable communities.

Both projects were formulated by the group Rebuild By Design, which was initiated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in 2013, and New Jersey environmental officials. Rebuild By Design looked at ways to reduce flood risk and increase resiliency in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut, and it launched a series of projects that are in various phases of planning or construction.

“Eleven years ago, Superstorm Sandy pounded this community,” said Shawn LaTourette, New Jersey’s environmental protection commissioner. He noted that properties were under water for prolonged periods and there were deaths in the region attributable to the storm.

“That experience was a wake-up call in New Jersey that we need to invest more deeply to build our resilience to these risks,” he said.

Former Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer, who was in office when Sandy hit on Oct. 29, 2012, said “we realize how lucky we are that we have not had a major storm surge event in 11 years.”

“It’s not a matter of whether the next storm will hit,” she said. “It’s a matter of when.”

RBD Hudson River is by far the larger of the two undertakings, costing $215 million. It calls for building 9,000 linear feet (about 1.7 miles or 2.7 kilometers) of flood walls, installation of flood gates and construction of berms and levees. Most of the work will be done in Hoboken, but parts will extend to protect areas of Jersey City and Weehawken, which also sit along the Hudson Riverfront across from Manhattan.

Ravi Bhalla, the current Hoboken mayor, said that when the current project is completed in a few years, nearly 80% of the city will be protected by some form of storm barrier.

The RBD Meadowlands project will add a high-power pumping station capable of moving 50 cubic feet (1.4 cubic meters) of water per second in Little Ferry, a flood-prone community along the Hackensack River.

It also will add another new pumping station capable of moving 10 times that much water on a waterway in Carlstadt and Moonachie. Channel improvements also will be made there.

Sandy hit the nation’s most populous metro area on Oct. 29, 2012. It swamped coastline communities, knocking out power, flooding transit systems and setting neighborhoods ablaze. It’s blamed for 182 deaths, including 12 in New Jersey and 48 in New York, and caused tens of billions of dollars worth of damage, including $36.8 billion in New Jersey and $32.8 billion in New York.

Chester cited numerous projects already completed in Hoboken as part of the post-Sandy flood-proofing efforts. They include planting more grass, trees and vegetation in urban areas to absorb rainfall and allow less runoff to flood streets and storm sewers.

Hoboken has already built three so-called “resiliency parks” in which green space is designed to absorb water, while runoff is collected in underground storage tanks and slowly released after a storm has passed.

Amy Chester, managing director of Rebuild By Design, said recent heavy rains that caused massive flooding in New York City did not cause similar chaos in Hoboken, due in part to the resiliency work.

And as big as they are, the two projects starting Wednesday pale in comparison to huge flood control efforts being contemplated by the federal government. They include a $52 billion plan to build movable barriers and gates across bays, rivers and other waterways in New York and New Jersey, and a $16 billion plan to address back-bay flooding in New Jersey by building movable storm gates at inlets and across bays. There’s also discussion of elevating 19,000 buildings near waterways in many parts of the state.

There’s a New Holiday Pop-up Inside Hoboken Bar ‘The Waiting Room’

This year, Hoboken has welcomed over a dozen new beauty businesses, but two Hoboken bars underwent their own makeovers — one of those being The Waiting Room, a new bar that took over the former Bobble Heads space on 72 Hudson Street. After its first few months in town, The Waiting Room has launched a holiday-themed pop-up in its space. Called Candy Canes + Cocktails, the pop-up will run for the holiday season and features a menu of festive drinks. Read on to learn more about the revamped downtown spot in Hoboken and how it’s celebrating the holiday season.

The Waiting Room launched its festive pop-up on Friday, December 8th, introducing a fully decked-out space at the Hudson Street location. The menu is equally as festive, with beverages like an espresso martini, Sour Patch watermelon drink, and other spirited spirits (very sorry, had to). There are plenty of photo ops in the downstairs bar too for anyone looking to snap a 21+ style holiday card.

The Waiting Room is located at 72 Hudson Street in the former Bobbleheads space. Former MLB pitcher and local bar owner Pat Light expanded his ownership in downtown Hoboken in late summer adding The Waiting Room. Pat’s ownership group, The Light Group, is also behind Green Rock Tap + Grill, Texas Arizona, McSwiggan’s, 80 River Street (which is now the River Street Garage), and Saku, all in Hoboken.

The Waiting Room is looking to establish a fine reputation as “The Ultimate Starting Point” according to the bar’s Instagram account.

Before its new ownership, The Waiting Room was known by many other names Hoboken regulars may have been familiar with. Bobbleheads was the most recent name with several different historic/pop culture bobbleheads displayed throughout the bar and featured live music weekly. Before that, the bar was known as Winston, and also The Ugly Irishman.

The Waiting Room and its new staff have joined in on the fall fun in Hoboken with a combination of nightlife and Sunday Funday during football season, which are known favorites in Hoboken.

Just a few steps away from The Waiting Room is 80 River Street, which also underwent a makeover of sorts. HG reported earlier this fall that the bar had plans to rebrand into a vintage, garage-style bar with an emphasis on live music called The River Street Garage.

Pat Light, owner of River Street Garage, shared with The Hoboken Girl: “Music has always been a huge part of Hoboken’s storied history and our vision for River Street Garage was to combine the raw energy of live bands with the vibrancy of downtown.” He went on to share that “garages have long been the backdrop for countless memories and conversations among friends and we invite our customers to join us for some good music, good vibes, and good times.”
