When it helps
Pre-pulls can help with tight LFDs, limited receiver appointments, terminal timing gaps or delivery windows that do not align.
Pre-pull
Container pre-pull accessorials in Seattle/Tacoma drayage.
A pre-pull can help when a container is available before the receiver can accept delivery. The decision depends on LFD, yard capacity, chassis, cargo type, storage duration and final delivery timing.
What to know
How this can affect the move.
Accessorial categories are easier to plan when dispatch receives the right details before the truck is committed.
What to send
Provide container number, terminal, LFD, delivery address, receiver appointment, container size, weight and expected storage duration.
Storage connection
A pre-pull often creates a yard storage step, so capacity and cargo requirements must be reviewed.
Limits
A pre-pull does not guarantee avoidance of every charge or delay because terminal and receiver constraints can still affect execution.
