LFD matters
Last free day helps dispatch understand urgency and whether an emergency pre-pull or Tacoma yard staging plan should be reviewed.
Demurrage
Demurrage risk in Tacoma import container timing.
Demurrage risk is usually tied to how long a container remains at a terminal or ramp beyond allowed free time. SP Logistics can review Tacoma timing, emergency pre-pull options, and Tacoma yard staging by capacity, but terminal status 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, holds, and chassis availability can all affect Tacoma pickup timing.
What to send
Send terminal or rail ramp, container number, LFD, size, weight, delivery appointment, receiver hours, and chassis needs.
Carrier-control limits
Terminal availability, appointment supply, holds, and congestion may be outside the carrier's control.
