ContainerPort Group deploys app to offer drivers more visibility to pay

CLEVELAND - Sept. 20, 2022 - PRLog -- Ohio-based ContainerPort Group (CPG®), a top ten drayage provider in the United States, is crediting a surge in driver headcount, in part, to a new app that offers deeper visibility into how its drivers are paid

Rolled out this spring, CPG drew on driver input and the expertise of software engineering firm Headstorm to create the DrayPal app which offers drivers quicker and greater control over matters pertains to work and pay.

In its recent phase on roll-out, DrayPal was tooled to focus on financial visibility, the app may soon include push notifications going out to drivers regarding "return location for empties, chassis return locations, and pickup points."
