What dispatch checks before a truck is committed

Facility and release

Dispatch confirms the Seattle/Tacoma marine terminal or local rail ramp, release status, appointment access, LFD or available date, container number, and chassis source.

Cargo and equipment

The customer supplies an accurate commodity, size, weight, loaded status, sensitivity, declared-value range, and any reefer, genset, overweight, 53-foot rail/power-only, or special-equipment need.

Receiver and closeout

Dispatch reviews delivery access, appointment, unload or drop plan, expected service time, Tacoma yard request, empty or chassis return, POD, and final instructions.

Dispatch confirms the commodity, declared-value range, insurance requirements, receiver plan, and equipment before accepting the move. The customer and booking party remain responsible for accurate commodity, weight, classification, cargo-handling, and regulatory information.
