Assumptions & Methodology
Drayage savings reflect the difference between your entered all-in off-port cost and PWCS's $105 on-terminal port move charge per container, annualized by your monthly volume and operating months. Time savings reflect staff hours recovered from drayage coordination multiplied by your entered labor burden rate, plus USDA scheduling delay costs eliminated. Cold chain risk reduction reflects reefer failure incidents × average loss value, plus insurance premium savings, re-delivery cost elimination, and export certification fees absorbed by PWCS. All figures are estimates based on inputs provided. Actual savings will vary. Contact PWCS for a custom analysis based on your specific operation.
