Rail timing can matter at T5
If the container touches the T5 intermodal workflow, release status and rail-yard timing should be confirmed before dispatch.
Terminal 5 Seattle
Terminal 5 drayage in Seattle for container pickup and delivery.
Use this page when the shipment involves T5 harbor pickup, on-dock rail timing inside the Seattle harbor workflow, receiver delivery, chassis planning, or a pre-pull decision. If the real issue is BNSF SIG release timing beyond the harbor facility, 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.
Receiver timing changes the plan
A container may be ready before the receiver can take delivery. When that happens, a pre-pull or yard step may need to be evaluated.
Chassis and weight belong in the first request
Container size, gross weight, and chassis instructions help determine whether the move fits the available equipment 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.
T5 details
Terminal, container number, booking or reference number, available date, and LFD or cutoff.
Truck and chassis needs
Container size, gross weight, chassis provider or special equipment need.
Receiver plan
Delivery address, receiver hours, live unload/drop preference, appointment number, and empty return details if known.
