Container drayage quote checklist: what dispatch needs first

Gather the facts that control the truck move

• Terminal or rail ramp, booking number, and container number if assigned.
• Container size/type, weight, and commodity notes if they affect handling.
• LFD, cutoff, appointment window, delivery ZIP, and receiver hours.
• Chassis need, storage/pre-pull question, and delivery mode.

Tie release, equipment, receiver, and return together

• The pickup facility, release, and container are identified.
• Weight, chassis, and specialty requirements are complete.
• Receiver access and return instructions are available.
• The quote contains enough timing detail to decide whether dispatch should be called.

Confirm release and delivery responsibility

A city pair alone is rarely enough. Timing, equipment, receiver rules, and storage needs can change the plan before pricing or dispatch confirmation.

What SP Logistics needs to dispatch the truck

Dispatch uses the submitted operating details to check equipment, timing, receiver fit, and current availability before issuing a quote.
