Drop delivery by review
Drop/Hook Container Delivery for Seattle and Tacoma
A drop/hook move leaves the container and chassis at the receiver for an agreed loading or unloading window, then returns later for pickup. SP Logistics can review the move when the site has room, the receiver approves the drop, and the later pickup and return are clear.
Receiver and site requirements
The responsible site contact must approve both the container and chassis on the property.
Chassis responsibility
Identify the chassis source, provider rules, pickup location, expected time on site, billing responsibility, and return location.
Later pickup
Confirm who will release the container, the requested pickup date, receiver hours, and what dispatch should do if loading or unloading runs late.
Loaded import drop
For an import, include the terminal or rail ramp, release, container number, size, gross weight, receiver window, expected unload duration, empty-ready notice, and empty-return instructions.
The receiver supplies unloading staff and equipment. Chassis time, storage time, added trips, and waiting can change the final charge when the container stays longer than planned.
Empty set for customer loading
For an export, include the empty pickup instructions, loading-site contact, drop window, loaded-ready time, booking, terminal receiving window, legal weight, cutoff, and loaded-return plan.
SP Logistics provides the local trucking leg. Packing, loading, blocking, bracing, cargo securement, customs, and ocean booking remain with the customer and its appointed providers.
What can change the move
A changed loading window, unavailable site space, longer chassis use, missed later pickup, terminal cutoff, receiver closure, or revised return facility can require a new appointment, Tacoma yard review, or another trip.
