What counts as a stop
A stop may involve a scale, inspection, alternate receiver, intermediate yard, document location or other requested stop.
Stop fee
Stop fees in Seattle/Tacoma container drayage.
Extra stops can change the time and route for a container move. Buyers should share stop details before dispatch so the carrier can evaluate the lane correctly.
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.
What to send
Provide each stop address, order, contact, operating hours, purpose and timing requirement.
Why it affects the move
Extra stops can affect driver hours, appointment timing, delivery schedule and final closeout.
Plan early
Stops should be included in the quote request rather than added after the truck is already dispatched.
Before requesting a quote
Details that reduce back-and-forth.
Send the lane, terminal or ramp, container number, size, weight, timing, receiver details, chassis needs, storage needs, and any special requirements.
