LFD matters
Last free day helps dispatch understand urgency and whether a pre-pull or storage plan should be reviewed.
Demurrage
Demurrage risk in Seattle/Tacoma container drayage.
Demurrage risk is usually tied to how long a container remains at a terminal or ramp beyond allowed free time. A carrier can plan around the details provided, but terminal and appointment conditions may still affect the move.
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.
Terminal access matters
Availability, appointments, closures, gate rules and chassis availability can all affect pickup timing.
What to send
Send terminal/ramp, container number, LFD, size, weight, delivery appointment, receiver hours and chassis needs.
Carrier-control limits
Terminal availability, appointment supply and port congestion may be outside the carrier's control.
