Auction buyers
Buyers that need an empty positioned, a loading site served, and a loaded export returned on a real schedule.
Auction export container trucking
Container trucking support for auction cargo moving into export containers when the booking and loading plan are already ready.
SP Logistics handles container movement between port or yard, the loading site, and return to terminal or rail when booking and loading instructions are ready. Customer, auction site, exporter, or forwarder handles cargo loading and securement unless a different limited scope is separately agreed. Loading sites must have safe access for container and chassis equipment. This public page is positioned for non-hazmat cargo only.
Who this helps
Use this page when auction-purchased cargo still needs a clean local container plan.
This page is designed for buyers and exporters moving auction-purchased equipment, machinery, tools, commercial goods, vehicles, or project cargo into export containers through Seattle/Tacoma.
Equipment dealers
Dealers moving sold auction equipment or commercial cargo into export containers under a prepared loading plan.
Forwarders and exporters
Booking parties that need the local carrier leg handled after cargo details and terminal return requirements are ready.
Project and yard teams
Teams coordinating site access, loading readiness, and legal weight on specialized auction export moves.
How the move works
The move is reviewed from the empty set through the loaded return.
Dispatch reviews container movement between the port or yard, the auction or loading site, and return to terminal or rail when the booking side is ready.
Container set
Dispatch reviews where the empty is picked up and how it should be delivered to the loading site.
Site access
The loading site must have safe access for container and chassis equipment before the move can be confirmed.
Loading readiness
Loading readiness, cargo details, and securement responsibility must be clear before the loaded pickup is planned.
Return timing
Terminal or rail return is planned around cutoff, appointment windows, legal weight, and real equipment fit.
