Reefer / genset

Reefer and genset accessorials in Seattle/Tacoma drayage.

Reefer and genset moves require more detail than standard dry containers. Temperature, power, monitoring, fuel and receiver timing should be arranged before dispatch.

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.

Genset need

Confirm whether a genset is required, who provides it, whether monitoring is needed and how fuel should be handled.

Temperature details

Share temperature setting, commodity notes if relevant, pickup timing, delivery appointment and receiver requirements.

Yard considerations

Reefer storage or staging must be reviewed for capacity, monitoring, fuel and power requirements.

Quote readiness

Send reefer/genset instructions with the first quote request whenever possible.

Before requesting a quote

Details that reduce back-and-forth.

Send the lane, terminal or ramp, container number, size, weight, timing, receiver details, chassis needs, storage needs, and any special requirements.

Shipment basics

Origin, destination, container or booking number, size, loaded/empty status and gross weight.

Timing

LFD, cutoff, available date, receiver appointment, live unload/drop process and urgency.

Equipment

Chassis source, tri-axle need, reefer/genset, scale requirement, yard storage or special handling details.

Closeout

Empty return, chassis return, POD, final delivery notes and receiver contact details.

Related planning pages

Use the page that matches the reefer, genset, or delivery-control question.

Reefer-accessorial questions often overlap with the core reefer service page, equipment explainers, and delivery-method planning. These support pages keep that equipment path clear.
