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