T18 has multiple timing gates
Container availability, LFD, appointment windows, and receiver hours should be understood together.
Terminal 18 Seattle
Terminal 18 drayage in Seattle for import and export containers.
Use this page when the shipment involves T18 harbor pickup, delivery, LFD pressure, chassis coordination, receiver timing, or empty return planning. If the real issue is BNSF SIG rail release timing outside the harbor workflow, use the BNSF SIG page instead.
Planning the move
What can change the terminal drayage plan.
Facility details, release timing, chassis needs, receiver hours and final return instructions all help determine whether the move is ready for quote or dispatch.
Rail and terminal details should not be guessed
If the move involves rail timing or intermodal coordination, share those details early.
Reefer or special handling needs should be clear
Temperature, genset, monitoring, or special equipment details can change the dispatch plan.
Quote details
What to send before requesting terminal drayage pricing.
Complete shipment details help reduce back-and-forth and make the quote more useful for brokers, forwarders, importers, exporters and warehouse teams.
T18 shipment details
Terminal, container or booking number, carrier if known, size, weight, LFD, and availability date.
Delivery requirements
Receiver address, appointment time, live unload/drop instructions, contact information, and access notes.
Closeout plan
