Not a drayage carrier?
You still have skin in the game.
BCOs, freight forwarders, PE firms, steamship lines, and financial partners all depend on drayage carriers operating well. Here's what changes when those carriers run on Doublefast.
BCOs & Importers
When your carrier runs Doublefast, your containers get there before the last free day, not after. LFDs are tracked live, appointments are booked the moment slots open (not at 8am when they're gone), and exceptions surface before they cost you.
- Appointments booked at 2am slot-release, not the next morning when slots are gone
- $0 demurrage: our reference carrier eliminated it entirely in month two
- Live container status on arrival: no calls, no emails, no lag
Freight Forwarders
You're only as fast as the carrier you hand the DO to. Doublefast carriers intake delivery orders the moment they arrive, any format, any channel, and confirm back without manual input. You close faster.
- DO parsed and acknowledged within minutes of receipt, not the next business day
- Billing cycle closes 3.6 days faster on average
- Last free days tracked automatically, flagged before the charge hits your client
PE Firms & Investors
Drayage has been operationally intensive and historically un-automated. Doublefast collapses the labor structure: same volume, a fraction of the back-office. The improvement is structural, not cyclical.
- 5 dispatcher FTEs → 1 part-time: structural labor compression, not a one-time cut
- $47k/month net operational improvement on a 30-truck fleet
- Same-day invoicing vs. 3–5 day industry average; DSO compresses materially
Steamship Lines & Terminals
Fewer calls, fewer exceptions, better data. Doublefast carriers book appointments programmatically and track gate-in times automatically, for cleaner utilization and more predictable gate flow.
- 94% first-attempt appointment success (from under 60% manual)
- Zero missed cancellation windows; system cancels automatically before the deadline
- Gate flow data captured at event time, not batched end-of-day
Insurance & Factoring
You're underwriting operations. Doublefast carriers have live cost, on-time, and per-diem data, not spreadsheets reconstructed after the fact. The financial picture is cleaner and the risk profile is structurally different.
- Same-day invoicing: eliminates 3–5 day billing lag and AR exposure
- Every per-diem and detention charge timestamped from system events, fully auditable
- $47k/month net surplus changes the carrier risk profile in ways a balance sheet can't show
Supply Chain Consultants
Consulting firms recommending or implementing drayage technology now have a platform with repeatable outcomes and real carrier reference data, not a pilot program.
- Live within four weeks of signing, fastest enterprise deployment in drayage
- Reference data from a live $47k/month net improvement on a NY/NJ mid-size fleet
- Same implementation playbook, new carrier; outcomes replicate
ELD & Fleet Technology Providers
ELD and telematics providers whose carrier customers run Doublefast benefit from tighter data integration: dispatch events, driver assignments, and delivery timestamps flow through a unified operational stack.
- Dispatch events and ELD hours in one view: no manual reconciliation
- Driver status tracked from assignment through delivery and return
- Clean handoff between compliance data and ops data
NVOCCs & 3PLs
Non-vessel operators and 3PLs who arrange drayage on behalf of cargo owners benefit when carriers respond faster, make fewer errors, and confirm dispatch without back-and-forth.
- DO confirmation from your carrier in minutes, not end-of-day
- Fewer missed LFDs and detention charges passed back to you
- Real-time container status without calling your carrier
The drayage layer is getting automated.
Port drayage has been operationally intensive and technology-resistant for decades. Doublefast is changing that, not with a dashboard, but with a system that actually runs the operation.
