Weight first
Gross weight and container size are the first details needed for heavy container planning.
Overweight / tri-axle
Overweight and tri-axle accessorials in Seattle/Tacoma drayage.
Overweight and tri-axle planning depends on gross weight, container size, lane, chassis availability, receiver access and route feasibility. Share weight early.
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.
Equipment fit
Tri-axle or special chassis needs depend on weight, lane, equipment availability and customer requirements.
Route and receiver
Delivery ZIP, route constraints, site access, receiver hours and unload method can affect feasibility.
No assumptions
Do not assume a standard chassis or standard route works for every heavy container.
