What is LFD and why does it matter before pickup

Why last free day controls pickup timing

LFD pressure can change whether a direct delivery, pre-pull, yard staging, or different appointment plan is needed. A carrier can review the move plan but cannot guarantee avoiding charges.

When availability and delivery dates do not align

A container's LFD is tomorrow, but the receiver appointment is two days later. Dispatch needs availability, pickup access, receiver timing, chassis, and any pre-pull or Tacoma yard question immediately.

Availability and date details to provide

• Terminal or ramp, availability, LFD, and container number.
• Receiver appointment, delivery address, unload method, and timing constraints.
• Chassis need, pre-pull question, and yard timing needs.
• Empty return or final closeout instructions.
