What does Drop and Pick refer to?
Drop and Pick is a transportation service offered by carriers or trucking companies that involves dropping off a container or cargo at a designated location (such as a warehouse or distribution center) and later picking it up after a specified period. This service allows shippers or consignees to have flexibility in loading or unloading their cargo and provides them with time to complete the necessary processes.
The drop and pick service can be beneficial when the consignee is not immediately ready to receive the cargo or when the shipper requires additional time for loading the container before transport.
