What is Hazmat Drayage?
Hazmat drayage is a critical link in the chemical supply chain. It involves short-distance trips, usually by truck, between ports, rail hubs, and warehouses. Think of it as a quick way to move materials from different modes of transportation.
Rinchem's Drayage Services
Rinchem focuses on the following to bring the most value and expertise:
Door-to-Door Drayage
For international shipments, Rinchem offers door-to-door drayage solutions. We handle the movement of hazardous and temperature-sensitive cargo from the warehouse to the port. We also manage the transport across the ocean and from the port to the final destination. This end-to-end visibility and control help reduce risk and improve supply chain efficiency.
Expedited Drayage
We strive to offer expedited drayage whenever feasible, particularly for time-critical shipments. Port operations can affect timing, but our teams work hard to reduce delays and keep your operations running smoothly.
Each type of drayage is important in intermodal logistics. When we involve hazardous materials, we must consider extra safety and compliance measures.

There are many different types of drayage services. Here are some common types:
- Inter-carrier drayage
- Intra-carrier drayage
- Expedited drayage

Managing Risk and Regulation in Hazardous Material Drayage
Compared to general freight, hazmat drayage introduces a higher level of complexity due to regulatory and safety demands. Rinchem manages these risks through:
- Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to DOT, EPA, and international hazmat transportation rules.
- Specialized Equipment: Use of reinforced containers, temperature-controlled solutions, and secure packaging.
- Trained Personnel: All drivers and handlers are hazmat certified and trained in chemical handling procedures.
- Proactive Risk Management: Spill containment strategies, emergency response planning, and real-time shipment monitoring.
These safeguards make hazmat drayage one of the most critical—and complex—steps in a compliant chemical logistics operation.
