BNSF SIG container pickup: what to confirm before rail drayage

Confirm the BNSF SIG release before dispatch

• BNSF SIG release status and container number.
• Container size, weight, chassis need, and whether 53-foot rail equipment is involved.
• Delivery address, receiver hours, appointment window, and unload plan.
• Any yard timing, pre-pull, or empty return concern.

Work from the BNSF release and interchange instructions

BNSF SIG timing can change the whole move. Release status, chassis availability, driver hours, receiver appointments, and empty or return instructions all affect whether the rail drayage plan is workable.

BNSF SIG receiver and equipment instructions

• The BNSF SIG facility and release are confirmed before pickup.
• Chassis timing and receiver delivery fit the available window.
