Drayage Q&A What is Drayage? Drayage is the essential link between the vast, bustling world of international shipping and the final destination of goods. Think of it as the “first mile” or “last mile” service in the logistics chain, where containers fresh off a massive cargo ship are transported over short distances—usually from the port to a nearby warehouse, distribution center, or your house. It may seem like a small step in the grand scheme of global trade, but without efficient drayage, even the most perfectly orchestrated supply chains could fall apart. At Oakland Container Trucking, we specialize in making this crucial connection seamless, ensuring your cargo doesn’t miss a beat. What is Demurrage? Demurrage refers to the fees imposed when a container remains at the port beyond the designated "free time" allocated for its pickup. Once a container is unloaded from the vessel, there is a specific time window for it to be collected and transported to its next destination. If this timeframe is exceeded, the port charges demurrage fees for the extra days the container occupies space. In essence, think of it as a penalty for overstaying. Just as a guest who stays beyond their reservation at a hotel would incur additional charges, a container lingering at the port beyond the allowed period leads to accumulating costs. At Oakland Container Trucking, we prioritize efficiency and work diligently to ensure timely pickup, helping our clients avoid these unnecessary fees and keeping their supply chain operations running smoothly. How Can I Avoid Demurrage and Detention Fees? Planning and communication are key to avoiding these extra charges. Here’s how you can stay ahead: Ensure that all customs paperwork and documentation are in order before the container arrives at the port. Coordinate with your drayage provider to schedule pickup and delivery efficiently. Keep your supply chain partners informed of any potential delays or issues that may arise. Pre-plan for warehouse space or unloading resources, so the container isn’t sitting idle. At Oakland Container Trucking, we’re committed to helping you navigate these logistics smoothly and minimize extra fees. What Are Port Appointments, and Why Do They Matter? Port appointments are time slots scheduled for a drayage truck to pick up or drop off a container at the port. With the increasing congestion at major ports, many terminals require appointments to streamline operations. Missing an appointment can result in delays and additional fees, so it’s crucial to coordinate with your drayage provider. Our team ensures that port appointments are made and met efficiently, so your container doesn’t get left behind. What is a Pre-Pull? A pre-pull occurs when a drayage truck picks up a container from the port and temporarily stores it at a nearby yard. This often happens when appointments for delivery aren’t immediately available or if there are delays in unloading at the destination. Pre-pulls help avoid costly demurrage fees by moving the container out of the port, but they may incur additional charges for yard storage. Example: Suppose we secure an appointment at the port for 2 PM, but your warehouse closes at 4 PM. Since there wouldn’t be enough time to deliver the container on the same day, we would pre-pull it to our yard and safely store it overnight. The following day, we would then deliver the container to your location as soon as your warehouse opens. This approach ensures we avoid demurrage fees while also accommodating your warehouse’s schedule. What is a Chassis? A chassis is a specially designed trailer that allows drayage trucks to transport shipping containers over the road. These trailers are equipped with wheels and a frame that securely holds the container, making it possible to move containers efficiently from ports to warehouses, distribution centers, or rail yards. Without a chassis, containers would have no way of being transported on land. Who Owns Chassis? Chassis ownership can vary. Some are owned by shipping lines, while others are managed by leasing companies or logistics providers. In many cases, drayage providers like Oakland Container Trucking lease chassis for container transportation. Depending on the port and the availability of equipment, leasing a chassis may be necessary, which could involve additional fees. Our team works diligently to secure the necessary equipment and ensure your cargo moves without unnecessary delays. How is Drayage Cost Calculated? Drayage costs are determined based on several components that come together to reflect the complexity and requirements of transporting your container. The primary elements include: Line Haul : The basic cost of transporting the container from the port to its destination. Fuel Surcharge : An additional fee that accounts for fluctuating fuel prices. Chassis Rental : A daily fee for the use of a chassis to transport the container. Additional charges may apply depending on specific circumstances, such as: Pre-Pull Fees : If the container needs to be picked up and temporarily stored at our yard to avoid demurrage. Yard Storage Charges : Fees incurred if the container is stored at our facility before final delivery. Waiting Time Charges : Extra fees if our truck has to wait at the port or your facility due to delays. Hazmat or Overweight Cargo Charges : Special handling fees for hazardous materials or containers that exceed standard weight limits. Out-of-Gauge (OOG) Cargo Charges : Additional costs for oversized or irregularly shaped containers that require special equipment or handling.

It provides an instant estimate, breaking down all the pricing components for your specific drayage needs, so you know exactly what to expect.

The projections are anchored to 6.692 dollars per gallon as of March 18 and are designed to give shippers a structured way to think about fuel risk when planning port trucking and export schedules. Instead of a single prediction, OCT lays out bull, base, and bear cases with clear probabilities, Brent crude ranges, and monthly diesel price bands. Oakland Diesel Price Scenarios Three‑Scenario Framework Scenario Probability Brent crude range (per barrel) Late‑March diesel April diesel May diesel June diesel Record breach? Bull 20–25% 75–85 dollars 6.70–6.90 6.40–6.70 6.00–6.40 5.80–6.20 Exceeds 7.129 dollars record unlikely Base 45–50% 90–100 dollars 6.90–7.20 7.00–7.50 7.20–7.70 7.30–7.90 Exceeds 7.129 dollars record likely in April–May Bear 25–30% 110–130 dollars 7.10–7.40 7.40–8.20 8.00–8.80 8.50–9.50+ Exceeds 7.129 dollars record as early as late March All three scenarios reference the prior 2022 record of 7.129 dollars per gallon. In the bull case, diesel trends below that level and gradually eases through June. In the base case, diesel crosses the record in April and May before settling into the upper‑seven range by June. In the bear case, diesel breaks the record in late March and climbs toward the upper‑eight to nine‑plus range by early summer. Note: All diesel price bands, probabilities, and record‑breach expectations are projections and are subject to change. Scenario Drivers and Market Forces Each scenario is backed by a specific narrative about ceasefire timing, Strait of Hormuz conditions, and market response. Bull case (20–25 percent probability) Ceasefire within 30–45 days Hormuz restored late April Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases absorb shortfall Crude 75–85 dollars per barrel Diesel peaks 6.90–7.20 dollars, eases to 5.80–6.20 dollars in June Drayage surcharges moderate to 25–30 percent Base case (45–50 percent probability) Aligns with EIA March STEO Shut‑ins peak early April, ease later Partial transit through Hormuz in May Brent around 90–95 dollars in Q2 Diesel 7.00–7.50 dollars in April as Valero Benicia closes, breaches the record, then stays 7.30–7.90 dollars in June Drayage surcharges set for 40–55 percent Bear case (25–30 percent probability) Sustained closure through June with escalation and shut‑ins Brent 110–130 dollars per barrel Diesel surpasses the 2022 record in late March and reaches 8.50–9.50+ dollars in June, the highest in history Drayage needs surcharges in the 60–80 percent range Note: Scenario drivers, crude ranges, diesel paths, and drayage surcharge levels are projections and are subject to change as conditions evolve. Scenario analysis Each scenario is backed by a specific narrative about conflict duration, Strait of Hormuz conditions, and market response. Bull case (20–25 percent probability) Ceasefire within 30–45 days. Hormuz restored late April. Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases absorb shortfall. Brent crude 75–85 dollars per barrel. Diesel peaks around 6.70–6.90 dollars in late March, then eases to 5.80–6.20 dollars by June. Drayage surcharges moderate at 25–30 percent. Base case (45–50 percent probability) Aligns with EIA March STEO. Shut‑ins peak early April, then ease later. Partial Hormuz transit returns in May. Brent crude around 90–95 dollars in Q2. Diesel at 7.00–7.50 dollars in April as Valero Benicia closes, breaching the 2022 record, and 7.30–7.90 dollars in June. Drayage fuel surcharges set around 40–55 percent. Bear case (25–30 percent probability) Sustained closure through June with escalation and shut‑ins. Brent crude in the 110–130 dollar range. Diesel surpasses the 2022 record in late March and reaches 8.50–9.50+ dollars in June, the highest range in history. Drayage operations require fuel surcharges in the 60–80 percent range. Note: Scenario drivers, crude ranges, diesel peaks, and drayage surcharge levels are projections and are subject to change as conditions evolve. Bay Area Diesel Hits 7 Dollars per Gallon Bay Area diesel hit 7 dollars per gallon on March 18, 2026, up 45.1 percent in one month and just 0.12 dollars below the all‑time record of 7.12 dollars set in June 2022. At the current daily rate of increase, the record could be broken by late March. Three forces are driving this spike: The U.S.–Israel–Iran conflict has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, described as the largest oil supply disruption in history by the IEA. The Valero Benicia refinery, the Bay Area’s primary diesel source, is closing in April. California’s regulatory costs add roughly 1.40–1.50 dollars per gallon above the national baseline. Under the base case (45–50 percent probability), Oakland diesel reaches 7.00–7.50 dollars in April and 7.30–7.90 dollars by June, breaching the 2022 record. The bear case projects 8.50–9.50+ dollars if the Hormuz disruption persists. Note: Current price levels, contributing forces, and scenario projections are subject to change as market and regulatory conditions evolve. Specialized Services for Complex Cargo OCT pairs its diesel outlook with a reminder of the specialized services available for complex freight at the Port of Oakland. These offerings help shippers keep projects on track regardless of which fuel scenario unfolds.

OCT manages these units with awareness of both temperature needs and dimensional challenges, from arrival at the terminal to departure on domestic equipment. Note: Container insulation and OOG crate service details, including methods and capacity, are subject to change.

The analysis connects conflict scenarios in the Middle East with global oil markets, domestic diesel prices, and the cost structure facing carriers and shippers that rely on the Port of Oakland. At the center of this assessment is the Strait of Hormuz, a critical energy chokepoint that carries roughly 20 percent of global oil supply. Any conflict‑driven disruption in this corridor feeds directly into the diesel outlook for the year. Global Oil Market Connection and Strait of Hormuz The global oil market framework highlights several points: Conflict escalation involving Iran increases uncertainty The Middle East controls a major share of exports Tensions that threaten shipping typically push crude prices higher Within this context, the Strait of Hormuz is treated as a critical energy chokepoint. About one fifth of global oil supply passes through this narrow passage. Its importance means that partial or prolonged closure quickly becomes a central driver in diesel price scenarios for 2026. U.S. Diesel Price Forecasts for 2026 OCT’s diesel outlook is organized around four main scenarios, each with its own crude and diesel price ranges, timeline, and probability. The baseline national diesel average for 2025 is 3.66 dollars per gallon, which serves as a reference point. Scenario Table Scenario Crude (Brent) U.S. Diesel (Nat’l Avg) Timeline Probability summary Quick de‑escalation 73–78 dollars/bbl 3.90–4.05 dollars/gal 1–2 weeks Strait reopens via negotiation, prices normalize by mid‑April Extended campaign (4–5 wks) 80–95 dollars/bbl 4.10–4.50 dollars/gal 2–6 weeks Conflict continues under escort, sustained elevation through Q2 Hormuz prolonged closure 95–120 dollars/bbl 4.50–5.25 dollars/gal 3–10 weeks Commercial traffic halted, Gulf infrastructure damaged, diesel approaches 2022 crisis levels Full regional war 120–150+ dollars/bbl 5.25–6.50+ dollars/gal Months Saudi/UAE production hit, global recession trigger, diesel exceeds June 2022 record of 5.81 dollars/gal Note: All crude and diesel price ranges, timelines, and probability summaries are forecasts and are subject to change. Impact of Higher Diesel on Transportation Costs Higher diesel is identified as a direct driver of logistics expenses. Across the trucking sector, diesel is roughly 20 to 30 percent of operating costs. As prices rise along the scenario paths, that share leads to substantial pressure on freight rates. Key implications include: Trucking: fuel surcharges (FSC) are applied, increasing freight rates Ocean freight: higher crude raises marine bunker fuel, which is recovered via bunker adjustment factors (BAF) added to rates Rail and barge: similar surcharge systems tied to fuel indexes push up costs For the most severe diesel scenarios, the analysis estimates that total transportation costs for shippers could rise by approximately 20 to 30 percent. Note: All operating cost shares and transportation cost impact ranges are estimates and are subject to change. U.S. Diesel Prices Already Moving Higher U.S. diesel prices jumped 8.8 cents to 3.89 dollars per gallon in the week ending March 2, 2026, the steepest weekly increase since the 2022 energy crisis. With crude oil up 8–12 percent and the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed to commercial traffic, diesel is projected to reach 4.15–4.50 dollars per gallon within 2–4 weeks under current conflict conditions. For a typical long‑haul trucking operation, this move translates to approximately 0.04–0.10 dollars in additional cost per mile, or 2,500–6,500 dollars in additional annual fuel cost per truck. Ocean carriers have already announced emergency surcharges of 3,000 dollars per FEU in response to these conditions. Total U.S. transportation cost inflation tied to the Iran conflict is estimated in the 5–15 percent range across modes, depending on how long the disruption lasts. Note: Price levels, per‑mile impacts, surcharge amounts, and transportation cost inflation ranges are estimates based on current conflict conditions and are subject to change. Diesel: The Supply Chain’s Lifeblood Diesel is widely considered the lifeblood of the supply chain, powering the movement of goods across trucks, ships, rail, and distribution networks. Virtually every product consumed in the U.S. relies on diesel at some stage, linking production to final delivery. When diesel prices rise, the effects ripple across the entire system. Higher fuel costs increase the expense of transporting raw materials, intermediate goods, and finished products, putting upward pressure on prices throughout the economy. This dynamic is part of a well-documented inflation transmission mechanism. According to research from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, a sustained 10% increase in diesel prices typically leads to a 0.1–0.3% rise in core CPI within six months, highlighting how fuel costs directly influence broader inflation. Mechanism of Cost Transmission OCT outlines a step‑by‑step mechanism for how diesel price increases transmit through the supply chain: Diesel costs rise across fleets. Fuel surcharges are passed from carriers to shippers. Transportation fees increase as surcharges and base rates adjust. Higher transportation costs ultimately contribute to higher retail prices. This path explains why fuel shocks can take several months to show up fully in consumer prices. Diesel‑to‑CPI Impact Research from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis indicates that a sustained 10 percent increase in diesel prices typically adds about 0.1–0.3 percentage points to core CPI within six months. This relationship is based on specific research outcomes that track how fuel costs feed into broader price changes. Note: Diesel‑to‑CPI impact ranges are research‑based estimates and are subject to change. Forecast Inflation Impact in 2026 Looking ahead to 2026, OCT frames a conflict‑driven diesel rise of 15–30 percent against an initial CPI level of roughly 2.4 percent in January 2026 and a 2.0 percent target. Under those conditions, the forecast impact on headline inflation is an additional 0.2–0.5 percentage points, enough to push CPI above the Federal Reserve’s target if fuel pressures persist. Note: CPI starting values, diesel rise assumptions, and the 0.2–0.5 percentage point inflation range are scenario forecasts and are subject to change. Federal Reserve Policy Implications These inflation effects have direct implications for interest rate policy: Higher inflation makes potential rate cuts riskier An anticipated cut may be removed from the policy pathway The Federal Reserve may maintain policy restraint, keeping rates higher for longer This policy backdrop becomes part of the environment OCT customers operate in as they plan trucking, transloading, and warehousing decisions around the Port of Oakland. Note: Policy implications are scenario‑based and may change as economic conditions evolve.

After shipping thousands of our own containers through the Port of Oakland, we not only gained valuable knowledge of the shipping industry, we also discovered where the trucking industry could be improved. Instead of returning empty containers to the port, they could be used for other customers in the area looking to load and export their goods. By avoiding an empty trip to the port, both parties save time by not returning empty containers and checking them out again. We currently work with over a dozen local business and all marine lines. We continue to work towards expanding our drayage network in Oakland and saving our customers time and money. In 2017, the drayage department became known as Oakland Container Trucking.
