In 2026, accessorial risk is still a major issue in drayage.

Even without major disruption, individual container moves can become expensive when vessel arrivals cluster, appointment windows tighten, chassis availability shifts, or inland ex*****on changes by market.

That is why strong drayage planning depends on visibility before the container is already under pressure.

FMI examines how shippers and forwarders can think differently about timing, documentation, and cost exposure.

Drayage planning is becoming more than scheduling a truck.

It now requires a clearer view of:

• Container availability
• Free time
• Appointment windows
• Chassis access
• Equipment return rules
• Billing documentation

When these details are not aligned, preventable fees can show up before the shipment is complete.

FMI’s latest article explains why accessorial risk is now a central part of container transportation planning.

Most drayage accessorials do not come from one big mistake.

They usually come from small timing gaps that stack up.

• Last free day missed
• Chassis unavailable
• Warehouse appointment delayed
• Empty return restrictions
• Driver wait time
• Storage or demurrage exposure

For shippers and forwarders, planning before the move is booked can be the difference between a clean move and a costly one.

FMI explains what logistics teams should watch more closely.

The drayage rate is only part of the cost.

Accessorial charges can change the final number fast when timing breaks down between the terminal, chassis pool, warehouse, and return location.

A container may be available, but the appointment may not line up.

A driver may be ready, but the chassis may not be in position.

That is where better drayage planning matters.

FMI breaks down why accessorial risk is becoming a bigger concern for shippers and forwarders in 2026.

Drayage operations are changing.

More teams are moving away from fragmented manual coordination and toward workflows that bring pricing, routing, and booking decisions into one place.

That shift can reduce administrative burden, improve visibility, and help logistics teams move shipments forward with fewer delays.

FMI’s analysis explains what is driving the change.

In drayage, delayed pricing can slow down the entire booking process.

When logistics teams have access to current rates, routing options, and booking tools in one place, they can make faster decisions with more confidence.

FMI breaks down how drayage booking workflows are shifting toward real-time visibility and simplified coordination.

For shippers and forwarders, drayage booking often turns into a time-consuming process before the container ever moves.

The challenge is not just finding a carrier.
It is comparing rates, checking routing options, reviewing accessorials, and getting everything booked without unnecessary back-and-forth.

FMI’s latest analysis explains why more logistics teams are rethinking the way drayage bookings are handled.

Manual drayage booking creates more work than most teams realize.

Multiple emails.
Rate follow-ups.
Routing questions.
Limited pricing visibility.
More admin time before the shipment even moves.

FMI’s latest analysis looks at why shippers and forwarders are moving toward centralized workflows with real-time pricing access and faster booking ex*****on.

The carrier matters.

But the booking process usually decides whether drayage runs smoothly or turns expensive.

Before committing, teams need to check container status, LFD timing, chassis availability, and cost risk.

Better checks before booking mean fewer surprises after dispatch.

Common drayage issues add up fast.

Containers sit longer than expected.
Rates change last minute.
Unplanned charges appear.
Teams lose time chasing quotes and availability.

The result: missed windows, higher costs, and less predictable landed cost.
