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 Las Vegas, NV 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.

QUOTE REQUEST

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

NHL Rumors: Golden Knights, Canucks, Oilers, Bruins

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, what do the Vegas Golden Knights do now that Mark Stone is out indefinitely? Most insiders expect a trade, but where does Vegas turn? Meanwhile, what shoe drops next for the Vancouver Canucks? All roads in Edmonton seem to lead to a Jesse Puljujarvi trade and what are the Boston Bruins looking for on the trade market?

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, what do the Vegas Golden Knights do now that Mark Stone is out indefinitely? Most insiders expect a trade, but where does Vegas turn? Meanwhile, what shoe drops next for the Vancouver Canucks? All roads in Edmonton seem to lead to a Jesse Puljujarvi trade and what are the Boston Bruins looking for on the trade market? Perhaps more importantly, what aren’t they willing to do to get what they need?

Golden Knights Lose Mark Stone, Trade Coming?

The Golden Knights were dealt a tough blow learning that Mark Stone would be out indefinitely after undergoing a second surgery on Tuesday. He’s what stirs the drink in Vegas and it is expected the team will quickly start looking for pieces that can come in a help replace his production by committee. It has not been determined if he’ll miss the remainder of the season but should he go on LTIR, the Golden Knights have over $12 million in cap space with which to make a move.

Names like Timo Meier, Vladimir Tarasenko, and other big names will logically be connected to Vegas in trade talks now.

What’s Next for the Canucks?

After moving Bo Horvat, what other dominos will fall in Vancouver? Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic writes, “The Canucks kickstarted trade season with Monday’s blockbuster deal sending captain Bo Horvat to the Islanders. But they’re likely not done.”

Who goes next in Vancouver will be a fascinating story to watch. Pieces of LeBrun’s article are below. He writes:

Defenseman Luke Schenn is a pending UFA and will be in demand leading up to March 3. Contenders love to add physical, veteran blueliners…My understanding is that some contenders have reached out to the Canucks to check on Schenn, including the Bruins and Lightning.

source – ‘LeBrun: Why the Canucks acted early on a Bo Horvat trade, and are more blockbusters coming?’ – Pierre LeBrun – The Athletic – 02/01/2023

The other obvious player to watch for in trade talks is Brock Boeser. Unlike in the Horvat deal, the Canucks did give other teams an opportunity to talk with Boeser about a trade ahead of the deadline. He has two more years on his deal after this season at a $6.65 million cap hit.

As for why the Canucks traded Horvat well ahead of the deadline, Patrik Allvin said the team liked the offer and didn’t want to risk an injury to the player that would jeopardize the deal.

Puljujarvi’s Run With Oilers Coming to a Close

As per Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff, “Puljujarvi’s time in Edmonton is coming to a close one way or the other. A split is not only in his best interest, but it would help the Oilers free up the space to fill needs elsewhere.” The NHL insider took a deep dive into what the Oilers will have to do to become cap compliant and when looking at most scenarios, Puljujarvi’s name stands out.

As for potential fits, he names the Florida Panthers, St. Louis Blues, Tampa Bay Lightning, or teams like the Chicago Blackhawks, Buffalo Sabres, Anaheim Ducks, Arizona Coyotes, Montreal Canadiens, and Columbus Blue Jackets, who might be willing to take on his salary.

Bruins Don’t Want to Give Up Major Assets in Trade

Emily Kaplan noted during an interview on NHL @ ESPN, that the Bruins want to be active in the trade market but are looking for players that don’t require the organization to give up a ton of assets. She notes that the Bruins have been burned in the past when adding rentals and want to avoid that happening again.

They are looking for depth forwards, ideally, players who have some term left on their contracts for cost certainty. “Another thing I’ve heard they’ve been scouting is for a depth defenseman.”

Jim Parsons is a senior THW freelance writer, part-time journalist and audio/video host who lives, eats, sleeps and breathes NHL news and rumors, while also writing features on the Edmonton Oilers. He’s been a trusted source for five-plus years at The Hockey Writers, but more than that, he’s on a mission to keep readers up to date with the latest NHL rumors and trade talk.

Barbashev traded to Golden Knights by Blues

"Ivan is the type of player we need," Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon said. "He's different than what we have. We have a very good team, but this complements and broadens the skill set and makeup of our roster in terms of that type of player. He gets to the inside. He plays a hard game. He's at the net.

"Ivan is the type of player we need," Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon said. "He's different than what we have. We have a very good team, but this complements and broadens the skill set and makeup of our roster in terms of that type of player. He gets to the inside. He plays a hard game. He's at the net. He kills penalties. He'll have an important role."

Barbashev has 29 points (10 goals, 19 assists) in 59 games this season. He had 60 points (26 goals, 34 assists) in 81 games last season.

The 27-year-old forward, who is in the final season of a two-year contract he signed with the Blues on July 30, 2021, can become an unrestricted free agent after the season. McCrimmon said Vegas is "interested in keeping him long term."

Selected by St. Louis in the second round (No. 33) of the 2014 NHL Draft, Barbashev has 178 points (78 goals, 100 assists) in 410 regular-season games and nine points (three goals, six assists) in 50 Stanley Cup Playoff games. He won the Stanley Cup with the Blues in 2019, alongside Vegas defenseman Alex Pietrangelo whom McCrimmon said provided insight on Barbashev.

"Ivan is a player we know well. ... We're confident that we know what we're getting," said McCrimmon. "He has a physical edge to his game. He's a competitive player. We think he's going to move around our lineup and complement whatever line he plays on."

[RELATED: 2022-23 NHL Trade Tracker]

Dean was selected by Vegas in the first round (No. 30) of the 2021 NHL Draft. The 20-year-old has 49 points (24 goals, 25 assists) in 38 games for Gatineau of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League this season.

The 2023 NHL Trade Deadline is 3 p.m. ET on Friday.

The Golden Knights (35-18-6) are in first place in the Pacific Division, two points ahead of the Los Angeles Kings, but are without forward Mark Stone, who is out indefinitely after having back surgery Jan. 31.

The Blues (26-28-5) are 13 points behind the Seattle Kraken for the second wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. They have lost five in a row (0-3-2) and have been outscored 21-8 since trading captain Ryan O'Reilly to the Toronto Maple Leafs in a three-team deal with the Wild on Feb. 17.

St. Louis also traded forward Vladimir Tarasenko and defenseman Niko Mikkola to the New York Rangers on Feb. 9 for forward Sammy Blais, defenseman prospect Hunter Skinner and two conditional draft picks.

Need a break from Sin City? Here are 15 great day trips from Las Vegas.

Las Vegas is already a fantastic destination that people travel from far and wide to experience. But, after a day or two of playing at the blackjack tables, sitting by the rooftop pools, and digging into a few world-class meals, you may have a hankering for a little escape. Luckily, there are plenty of places within driving distance from Las Vegas that will make you feel like you’re a whole world away. Here are 15 of the best day trips from Las Vegas.

Grand Canyon

The Grand Canyon is one of America’s greatest treasures, and it happens to be located within driving distance of Las Vegas. However, the drive can take about five hours, so instead, we suggest splurging on a helicopter tour instead. Companies like Maverick can get you to the Grand Canyon for a flyover and even bring you back for a little aerial sightseeing over the Las Vegas Strip all in one glorious trip.

Hoover Dam

Check out one of man’s most impressive engineering marvels by driving just 45 minutes outside the city to see the Hoover Dam. Visitors can tour the whopping 726-foot tall dam that spans the Colorado River and learn all about how it generates power for thousands of people.

Lake Mead

Want more man-made fun? Drive just 40 minutes from Vegas to see Lake Mead, the largest man-made reservoir in the United States. Guests here can explore the perimeter by bike or take to the water on a boat tour to cool off (but be sure to check the water levels before you go).

Mount Charleston

Sure, for the most part, Las Vegas is a pretty hot place all year round, but in the winter months, skiers and snowboarders can make the one-hour drive to Mount Charleston for a little snow-filled adventure. According to Vegas.com, it even sees an impressive 240 inches of average snowfall a year, making it a prime place to visit if you’re a powder hound.

Valley of Fire

Seek out one of Mother Nature’s most beautiful scenes at the Valley of Fire, a state park just one hour outside Vegas. The landscape looks more like a watercolor painting made with neutral tones thanks to the ever-shifting sandstone that gives the area its distinct swirls. Visitors can also spot a few petroglyphs left over from several millennia ago if they look hard enough.

Cathedral Gorge State Park

Those seeking more towering stones can find them at Cathedral Gorge State Park, about a 2.5-hour drive from the Strip. The state park offers visitors more chances to explore, including its plentiful hiking trails and expansive caves. Get the best view by walking The Millers Point Trail, a short trail that ends with a spectacular view.

Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area

Red Rock Canyon is perhaps the most classic and popular day trip from Vegas, and with good reason. The national conservation area is just a quick 20-minute drive from the city and offers visitors gorgeous hiking trails and vistas galore. And, if you come in spring, you could be treated to a wildflower bloom unlike any other.

Magic Mountains

Those seeking a little outdoor art and culture can find it about 30 minutes away at Seven Magic Mountains. The colorful art installation made out of boulders was created and opened to the public in 2016 by artist Ugo Rondinone. The structures, according to the website, are meant to symbolize the space “mid-way between the natural and the artificial.”

The Extraterrestrial Highway

UFOs and aliens are getting a lot of attention at the moment, so what better time to make a quick day trip to Area 51 than now? Lean into the subculture fun by visiting the kitschy cafes and shops like the famed The Little A Le Inn Bar and Motel and taking a drive down the Extraterrestrial Highway.

Bryce Canyon National Park

Driving to Bryce Canyon and back can be a bit of a haul at four hours each way. But, those who are dedicated will be rewarded by getting to spend time in one of the most beautiful national parks in America. Come for a hike or camp overnight so you can look up at the dazzling stars blanketing Utah’s night sky.

Mojave National Preserve

Make the one-hour drive from Vegas and cross over the California border to visit the Mojave National Preserve. A visit here feels like you’re being transported to another planet, filled with massive sand dunes, towering Joshua trees, and plenty of hiking trails for exploration. Don’t miss Kelso Depot Visitor Center, a one-time railway station dating back to the early 20th century.

Horseshoe Bend

If you’ve spent any time on Instagram, odds are you’ve come across a photo of Horseshoe Bend. It’s a lengthy drive from Las Vegas at about 4.5 hours, making it a prime place for an overnight trip. Located in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, the Colorado River literally bends around a massive rock formation, creating a gorgeous horseshoe-shaped curve in the river. Get your photos, but remain cautious and respectful of boundaries put in place by the National Park Service.

Death Valley National Park

Make your way back to California once more for a visit to Death Valley National Park, located 2.5 hours from the city. The massive park boasts some of the hottest recorded temperatures on Earth, so make sure to plan your trip accordingly. While there, check out the salt flats and the racing rocks for two fantastic scenes. And, if you can, stay until the sun goes down and look up at the stars, as Death Valley is well known for its delightfully dark skies and brighter-than-bright stars.

Willow Beach

Who says the desert can’t have a beach? Willow Beach, located an hour from Las Vegas, offers visitors a watery respite from the heat. Come dive into the waters, take a paddle boat ride, or just enjoy a day on the shore.

Zion National Park

Head out for one more exploration to Zion National Park, another 2.5-hour drive from Vegas. The park is known for its deep canyons and jagged cliff sides, which you can climb down to wade through Virgin River on a hike along The Narrows. Find more water at the Emerald Pools, where you’ll be rewarded with lush landscapes on all sides.

The Vegas Golden Knights (35-18-5) will host the Dallas Stars (30-16-12) as they complete their short homestand on Saturday at 7 p.m. at T-Mobile Arena.

BROADCAST INFORMATION TV: AT&T SportsNet Radio: FOX Sports Las Vegas 98.9/1340 | Deportes Vegas 1460

TRAFFIC UPDATE The Nevada Department of Transportation's I-15 Tropicana Project will have a major impact on many fans' travel to games at T-Mobile Arena. Road, ramp and lane closures will change throughout the two-and-a-half-year project. The Vegas Golden Knights encourage fans to arrive early and stay late for games, but with some closures fans' typical routes to the arena will not be available. Please visit vgk.io/i15Trop for more information. Fans can also use traffic mobile apps like Waze which will be updated with road and ramp closures.

NOTES Saturday's game is the second of three games this season between Vegas and Dallas.

SEASON SERIES The last time these clubs met was on Jan. 16, in which the Stars shut out the Golden Knights, 4-0. Four different Stars scored in the victory, and goaltender Jake Oettinger put up 27 saves against Vegas.

LAST TIME OUT The Golden Knights rallied to defeat the Calgary Flames, 4-3, after being down 3-1 on Thursday. After two early goals by Calgary, Jack Eichel scored for Vegas in the middle frame, bringing the score to 3-1. Zach Whitecloud and William Carrier notched goals in the third, tying the game 3-3. In overtime, Alex Pietrangelo batted in the rebound from Jonathan Marchessault to secure two points against their division rival.

VGK SCORING LEADERS Chandler Stephenson - 49 points (12G, 37A) Jack Eichel - 42 points (19G, 23A) Reilly Smith - 39 points (19G, 20A) Mark Stone - 38 points (17G, 21A) William Karlsson - 38 points (11G, 27A) Jonathan Marchessault - 37 points (17G, 20A) Alex Pietrangelo - 35 points (8G, 27A)

MILESTONE WATCH Adin Hill - three games away from 100 NHL games Nicolas Hague - one game away from 200 NHL games Chandler Stephenson - three games away from 400 NHL games William Karlsson - nine games away from 600 NHL games William Carrier - two points away from 100 NHL points Jonathan Marchessault - two points away from 400 NHL points Reilly Smith - seven goals away from 200 NHL goals

PACIFIC DIVISION PICTURE Vegas Golden Knights - 35-18-5, 75 points Los Angeles Kings - 33-19-8, 74 points Edmonton Oilers - 32-19-8, 72 points Seattle Kraken - 32-20-6, 70 points Calgary Flames - 27-20-12, 66 points Vancouver Canucks - 23-30-5, 51 points San Jose Sharks - 18-30-11, 47 points Anaheim Ducks - 18-34-7, 43 points

OPPOSITION UPDATE Entering the game against Vegas, the Stars are atop the Central Division with a 30-16-12 record and 72 points. They are 2-3-5 in their last 10 games, most recently losing to the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday, 4-3. Jason Robertson is the leading scorer for Dallas with 72 points (35G, 37A), while Roope Hintz (23G, 27A) and Joe Pavelski (14G, 36A) are tied for second in points with 50 total.

A VEGAS VICTORY WOULD… - Mark the 252nd win in franchise history - Give the Golden Knights a 9-3-1 record against Dallas all-time - Extend Vegas' point streak to nine games

KEYS TO THE GAME Scoring first: Vegas got themselves into a rut last game by allowing early goals. If they can get on the scoresheet early, it will help build a cushion, so they aren't playing catch up like Thursday's game against Calgary.

Power play: The Golden Knights notched a much-needed power-play goal last time out. The Stars' penalty kill is ranked third in the league, so Vegas will have to come out strong on the man advantage.

David Pagnotta: The Vegas Golden Knights were trying for Timo Meier but yesterday morning the New Jersey Devils pushed ahead.

The Golden Knights are still looking to add and has been told that there are a few other things they have been working on.

NHL Trade: Timo Meier Traded to New Jersey

Sheng Peng: San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier said that Meier had been looking for an eight-year extension. That wasn’t something the Sharks were comfortable with. Was not because of Meier per se, but because of what salaries they have on their books.

Curtis Pashelka: Grier on why they couldn’t do an extension: “It wasn’t something we would have been able to do & make work over the eight years or so. It didn’t make sense.”

Amanda Stein: New Jersey Devils GM Tom Fitzgerald: “We will start at some point to ink his name to a long-term deal. I think New Jersey will sell itself (to Meier)”

David Pagnotta: Fitzgerald: “I’m not a reactionary GM or person. I’m very thorough, really stick to a game plan. . . A Timo Meier was the player we identified from the get-go. “We control this player for two years. And we’ll continue to try to ink this player to a long-term deal.”

David Pagnotta: (before the trade was official) From a source, believe that the Devils have spoken with Meier agents and have talked about what an extension could look like.

Meier is believed to be looking for $9 million-plus and the Devils were in the $8 million.

NHL Rumors: Dallas Stars and Arizona Coyotes
