Freight forwarder drayage checklist for Seattle/Tacoma moves

Hand off the local trucking instructions clearly

• Booking, SSL, container, terminal/ramp, and release or return status.
• Address, site contact, receiver or loading window, and delivery mode.
• Cargo weight, chassis need, LFD/cutoff, and appointment status.
• Forwarder contact and customer instructions.

Keep forwarding responsibilities outside the local truck leg

• The forwarder-controlled booking and documentation are complete.
• SP Logistics has the exact local pickup, delivery, and equipment instructions.
• The responsible contacts and return plan are identified.
• The handoff identifies any LFD, cutoff, or appointment that needs a dispatch call.

Forwarder documents and shipment instructions

The forwarder controls the shipment side. SP Logistics reviews the local carrier leg, so dispatch needs the operating facts without taking on customs, booking, or documentation responsibilities.

Local pickup and delivery handled by SP Logistics

The forwarder controls the booking, documentation, and shipment instructions. SP Logistics needs the local pickup, delivery, equipment, timing, and return details.
