Receiver not ready
The container is available, but the receiver appointment or unload window is later than the terminal pickup window.
Time-sensitive container pickup
Emergency Container Pre-Pull for Seattle and Tacoma
A pre-pull moves an available container out of the marine terminal or rail ramp before final delivery. SP Logistics can review a time-sensitive pickup when LFD, receiver readiness, appointment timing, chassis, and Tacoma yard capacity are clear.
When a pre-pull may help
Last free day pressure
LFD is approaching and pickup access, chassis, yard space, and final delivery can still be arranged.
Export or return timing
A staging step may help separate a facility window from a customer loading, loaded return, or equipment closeout requirement.
What the pre-pull adds
A pre-pull can add a chassis move, Tacoma yard time, storage duration, a second delivery trip, and separate equipment-return timing. It should be compared with direct delivery before dispatch accepts the plan.
Tacoma yard space is reviewed for each container. Hazardous materials are not accepted.
Information for dispatch
- Terminal or ramp, container, release, appointment, and LFD.
- Size, gross weight, loaded status, chassis, and equipment needs.
- Receiver address, ready date, appointment, access, and unload method.
- Expected staging duration, final delivery, empty return, and chassis return.
