An illustration of one container move as one load: the terminal pull, the delivery, and the empty return under one load number, in the app's own words.
Container work breaks single-trip tools
Whether the box comes off a ship or a train, the move is a chain of legs with its own chassis, its own appointments, and a clock running the whole time, often with a different driver on each leg. Dispatch software built for one-shot trips loses the thread halfway through. Dray Flow is built around the chain.
The move is the whole chain, not one trip
A container comes off a ship or a train, runs to the consignee, gets turned on the street, and heads back. Dray Flow models that whole chain as one load: the terminal or ramp pull, the delivery, and the empty return are each their own leg under one load number.
Chassis follows the box, not the truck
The chassis is its own asset and can swap mid-move. Assignment is per leg here, so a flip, a bare-chassis return, or a bobtail is a status you record, not a workaround you invent.
Last free day does not wait
Miss an LFD and per diem starts ticking. Last free day and export cutoff live on the container, and the board flags the box in warning or overdue color before it costs you.
The whole move, leg by leg
One load, many legs, a different driver or piece of equipment per leg, and status flowing across the whole chain, with the container machinery built in rather than bolted on: per-leg chassis, terminal appointments, and the last-free-day clock. This is how Dray Flow was built from day one.
One load, many legs
A container move splits into sequenced legs: pull from the port terminal or the rail ramp, deliver, turn on the street, return the empty. Each leg has its own order, locations, and timing under a single load, so the back-and-forth of a container move is one record, not five disconnected jobs.
Per-leg driver, truck, and chassis
Assign a different driver, truck, and chassis to each leg. Street turns, ramp shuttles, and chassis flips stop being a coordination headache because the next leg already knows who has it and on what equipment.
Port and terminal appointments
Pickup and delivery appointment times are separate fields on each leg, the way port and ramp operations actually run, so dispatchers sequence around the terminal window instead of against it.
LFD and cutoff awareness
Import last free day and export cutoff live on the container, and a day counter on the LFD turns from a warning window you set to overdue as the date passes.
Peel-off and drop-and-hook pools
Group a high-frequency lane into a pool tied to a customer and terminal, then let drivers claim units in the field. Each claim builds the legs and binds the equipment automatically. Optional add-on, one price for your whole company.
Driver app for every leg
Drivers see their leg, update status as they pull, deliver, and return, and capture proof from a phone. Status they enter rolls straight up into the chain view. Drivers never count as a paid seat.
Dispatch by hand, or tell the AI
Run the full board for hands-on control, or tell the built-in AI assistant what you need in plain English: which containers are closest to their last free day, who is free to take an empty return, what moved yesterday. The AI assistant is fully unlocked in your sample-data demo, and once you go live you can start a one-time free 7 day AI trial on your own loads, no card. After that the AI assistant is a paid AI seat. Pool Dispatch is an optional add-on your account owner turns on, so it is not part of the sample data.

Containers today, anything you haul tomorrow
The same board that tracks a container across rail and road runs the simpler freight too. Container work is your entry point, not a ceiling. One platform handles the whole operation.
Every freight type, one system
Dry van, reefer, flatbed, tanker, heavy haul, and container work all live on the same board. Add a dry-van lane next to your ramp work without bolting on a second system. Underneath it is the same load dispatch software every freight type runs on.
Port-heavy or ramp-heavy, it's all container work
Call it drayage or call it intermodal: the harbor pull and the rail ramp shuttle are the same container-on-chassis, appointment-driven, per-diem-exposed work. Dray Flow treats a terminal pickup, a ramp move, a street turn, and a bare chassis repo as leg types on one load, whichever side of the operation your week leans toward.
