Receiver time
Tacoma live unload duration, dock availability, appointment drift, and site instructions should be shared before dispatch.
Detention
Drayage detention in Tacoma receiver, terminal, and closeout timing.
Detention is connected to time. Tacoma receiver delays, live unload duration, terminal appointment drift, empty return windows, and closeout timing can all affect a container 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 or ramp time
Port, rail, and gate timing can change the move plan, especially when Tacoma appointment access or congestion affects pickup.
Documentation
Arrival, departure, POD, gate, empty-return, and receiver details may be needed to support timing records.
Prevention
Clear receiver hours, appointment numbers, unload expectations, and closeout notes reduce avoidable detention exposure.
