BNSF SIG Drayage: Release, Chassis, and Delivery Review

BNSF SIG work begins with an accurate rail release and the correct chassis or intermodal equipment plan.

BNSF SIG release, rail equipment, and receiver

Send the BNSF SIG release, unit, chassis or intermodal equipment, Seattle-area receiver appointment, and equipment return.

BNSF SIG release

Provide unit or container number, release status, available date or LFD, pickup reference, and ramp instructions.

Rail equipment

Identify size, weight, chassis source, interchange terms, insurance requirements, and any 53FT Power Only Support need.

Seattle-area delivery

Send receiver appointment, access, unload or drop method, expected service time, and equipment return.

BNSF SIG release and interchange can change before pickup

Rail release, chassis supply, ramp workflow, receiver windows, interchange terms, and return instructions can change before pickup.

Use the BNSF release and interchange instructions

BNSF SIG is a rail move, so the release, chassis or intermodal equipment, interchange instructions, receiver appointment, and equipment return must be supplied together. Ocean-terminal booking details do not replace the rail release.

Use rail release and interchange instructions for BNSF SIG rather than ocean-terminal booking details.

Rail move plan

How does a BNSF SIG intermodal pickup move forward?

A Seattle International Gateway (SIG) move begins with the current release and available-date information, then connects the rail pickup to the correct chassis or intermodal equipment, receiver, and closeout.

Release and interchange: BNSF SIG is distinct from BNSF South Seattle and BNSF Tacoma South. Official BNSF references can serve different facility-listing and operating roles. Use the exact SIG address, gate, release, and interchange instruction shown on the current shipment record.
