Container Drayage – A Story Above Logistics

Container Drayage, Cargo Dynamics, in our view, sees logistics in a broader context than just transportation of shipments; it is about relationships with our clients, appreciation of their problems, and resolution of their issues more than they expected. One such tale that really fits this spirit was when we aided one of our long-term contacts with what appeared to be an impossible task. We assisted him in importing a container of crucial goods from China to Dayton, Ohio, at a precise time and at a reasonable cost. 

 The Same Call for Assistance 

I had served this client for a number of years when they got in touch with me as soon as they found out that I was part of the Cargo Dynamics team. I was both flattered and concerned. Such degree of confidence is quite a burden. This was no ordinary crate. This was an opportunity for us to show the world that we are more than just a freight-forwarding company; we are an organization that knows how to deliver on its promise and offer clients an easement. 

 The Challenge Developed and Diminished Step by Step… 

The container reached Florida as scheduled, there was nothing that suggested that we were headed for obstruction, but then a setback crossed our path, making us rethink the situation. We were able to complete the container loading and unloading just for customs documentation requirements to prevent me cargo. It was a Friday, and the weekend was almost upon us, which increased the likelihood of added delays. 

I remember the call I received from the client and the tone of his voice. He was panicky.

This consignment was of paramount importance to them, as its delay could even hamper their operations. I tried to calm their nerves, stating, “Don’t worry, we will manage it, even if we have to move mountains.” 

 Effective Approach – Though It Means Burning the Midnight Oil

In order to honour our word, we quickly sprang into action. Alex, whom I regard as one of our best resources, stepped in. With unflagging determination, Alex tackled the issue over the weekend, traversing the labyrinth of customs procedures and communicating with officials to untangle the matter.

On Sunday afternoon, Alex rang me. His voice clearly revealed he was tired, but there was a certain joy that concealed any sorrow. “The papers have been signed and the customs have cleared ports”, he said. The relief and purpose that came with the tone did not escape me, I knew what this feeling was about – for both our company and our client.

I telephoned the client with this good news and great progress, after a strange pause the client said, “Ingrid, you have surpassed our expectations. Thank you.”  That moment was a chance to recollect why we exist as a company.

 Achieving Objectives and Earning Respect

Having the formalities out of the way, we pushed the shipment through a recognized carrier. We provided updates to the client regarding the progress to reassure them regarding the whereabouts of their shipment.

The fact that everything has arrived at exactly the right time and in undamaged condition in Dayton Ohio delighted the client. 

Their appreciation was so sincere: 

“Ingrid and the team conducted miracles to make things happen. We have believed in Ingrid for many years, but this one experience consolidated our belief in her and Cargo Dynamics. She is utterly devoted, quick and provides fantastic service. I would recommend her to anyone who is in difficulty—they will get it.”  

 From Challenge to Partnership 

The Client has become an eager shipper ever since, entrusting their Full Truckload (FTL) shipments across the USA to our companies. While in the beginning it was one critical task with a deadline, the task was transformed into a trustworthy relationship between the two parties.
