Start with the exact facility
Seattle/Tacoma drayage moves can change quickly when the wrong terminal, rail ramp, or steamship line is assumed.
Terminal guide
Seattle/Tacoma terminal drayage guide for port and rail containers.
Use this guide to match the shipment to the right terminal or ramp workflow before sending a quote request.
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.
Confirm timing before the truck is committed
Availability, LFD, export cutoff, appointments, receiver hours, and empty return details all shape the dispatch plan.
Separate terminal pages from lane pages
Terminal pages explain facility workflow. Lane pages should explain city-to-city or inland delivery patterns.
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.
Facility and container
Terminal/ramp, container or booking number, size, weight, SSL or rail provider if known.
Timing
Available date, LFD or cutoff, appointment timing, receiver hours, and urgency.
Delivery and closeout
Delivery address, live unload/drop process, empty return, chassis return, yard or pre-pull need.
Facility pages
Terminal-specific pages for Seattle and Tacoma container moves.
Use these pages to match the shipment to the right terminal workflow before sending a quote request.
