drayage
This term is a specialized piece of logistics and supply chain jargon. It is rarely used in casual conversation and is primarily found in commercial contracts, shipping manifests, and industrial transportation contexts. It describes the specific "first-mile" or "last-mile" leg of a journey, distinguishing this short-haul movement from long-haul trucking or ocean freight.
Because it refers to a specific type of service or process, it is treated as an uncountable noun. You would not refer to "three drayages," but rather to "drayage services" or "a drayage operation" to quantify the activity.
