Etymology

The term 'draying' originates from the word 'dray,' which is derived from Middle English 'dray,' meaning a cart or low-wheeled vehicle. This, in turn, comes from Old English 'drวฃge,' meaning 'to drag or pull.' The historical usage of drays dates back to the 16th century when they were commonly used in cities for hauling goods. As urbanization increased, the need for efficient transportation of bulk items led to the popularity of drayage services. Draying has evolved over the years with technological advancements, transitioning from horse-drawn carts to motorized vehicles, but its core function of transporting goods remains unchanged. Today, draying is an integral part of the logistics industry, ensuring the timely delivery of goods to various destinations.
