Receiver delivery planning

Container Delivery Options for Seattle and Tacoma Drayage

Choose the delivery method that the receiver can actually support. Dispatch reviews the appointment, site access, chassis source, unload time, drop space, later pickup, and return plan before confirming the move.

Six delivery and timing choices

Match the service to the receiver and chassis plan

Private-pool chassis drayage

Choose this option when the chassis source, provider rules, pickup location, interchange terms, timing, and return requirements are known.

See private-pool chassis requirements

Drop/hook container delivery

A drop/hook delivery works when the receiver can accept the container and the drop window, chassis use, site space, loaded or empty status, and later pickup plan are clear.

See drop/hook delivery

Live-unload container delivery

Live unload fits when the receiver has an appointment, unload equipment, site access, expected unload time, and empty-return instructions ready.

See live-unload delivery

Emergency container pre-pull

A pre-pull can help when terminal timing is tight and the receiver is not ready, subject to release, LFD, equipment, Tacoma yard capacity, and final delivery review.

See pre-pull timing

Tacoma yard staging

Tacoma yard staging may bridge the timing gap when capacity and the final delivery plan fit.

See Tacoma yard staging

Residential delivery review

Residential delivery can be reviewed when the street, entrance, surface, turning room, overhead clearance, placement limits, and receiver unloading plan are known.

See residential delivery requirements

Delivery timing can change the full move

Terminal availability, LFD or cutoff, chassis timing, receiver readiness, unload duration, drop permission, yard capacity, and the return location can affect feasibility and price.

What to send

  • Terminal or ramp, container, release, size, weight, and chassis source.
  • Receiver address, appointment, access, contact, unload equipment, and expected unload time.
  • Drop window and later pickup plan, or live-unload and empty-return instructions.
  • Any pre-pull or Tacoma yard request that may bridge terminal and receiver timing.

Send the delivery and receiver details

Dispatch will review whether private-pool chassis, drop/hook, live unload, pre-pull, Tacoma yard timing, or a residential site fits the move.
