Added work and timing
Container Pre-Pull Timing
Container pre-pull planning when pickup and delivery timing do not line up cleanly. A pre-pull may help when LFD and receiver timing do not line up, but it still depends on pickup access, chassis, yard space, and final delivery timing.
Pickup, yard, and delivery dates
Send LFD, availability, pickup appointment, receiver-ready date, chassis need, loaded status, and expected staging duration.
Evidence of both truck moves
Keep the first pickup, chassis use, Tacoma yard arrival and departure, final delivery, and equipment-return records.
A pre-pull versus final delivery
A pre-pull moves the container before final delivery. It can reduce terminal pressure but may add chassis, yard, storage, and second-move costs.
What the accepted pre-pull includes
Pre-pull pricing is confirmed from the first pickup, chassis use, Tacoma yard time, final delivery, and equipment return included in the accepted plan.
Pre-pull, Tacoma staging, and delivery timing
Keep first pickup, Tacoma yard, chassis, final delivery, and empty-return records together.
