Vehicle exporters
Exporters that already control the booking, documentation, and shipment-side planning but still need the local carrier leg handled cleanly.
Vehicle export container drayage
Local container drayage support for vehicle export containers when the shipping side is already arranged.
SP Logistics handles the local container trucking and drayage side only. Exporter, forwarder, booking party, or other licensed provider handles title work, customs, vehicle prep, ocean booking, loading, and documentation. SP Logistics can review empty pickup, delivery to the loading location, loaded pickup, and port return when booking and instructions are ready. This public page is positioned for non-hazmat vehicle and equipment cargo only unless a different supported scope is separately confirmed by the owner.
Who this helps
Use this page when the container is being loaded with vehicles or export equipment and the local drayage leg still needs to be solved.
This page is designed for vehicle exporters, auction buyers, dealers, forwarders, and customers shipping cars, motorcycles, equipment, or vehicles by ocean container through Seattle/Tacoma.
Forwarders and NVOCCs
Booking parties that need an asset-based carrier for empty pickup, local loading-site delivery, loaded pickup, and terminal return.
Auction and dealer buyers
Buyers working with auction or dealer cargo that must move into a container under a real loading plan.
Equipment shippers
Customers shipping motorcycles, equipment, or similar non-hazmat vehicle cargo inside export containers.
How the move works
The move starts with a real booking, a real loading plan, and clear site instructions.
Once the booking side is arranged, SP Logistics can review the local container move around site access, equipment fit, terminal rules, and timing.
Empty pickup
Dispatch reviews empty pickup timing, chassis fit, and where the unit should be delivered for loading.
Loading-site delivery
SP Logistics can deliver the empty to the loading site when the site has safe access for container and chassis equipment.
Loaded pickup
After the responsible party loads and secures the cargo, dispatch can review loaded pickup and return timing.
Port return
Return to the assigned terminal depends on booking, receiving window, terminal requirements, and capacity.
What SP Logistics handles
- Local empty pickup, chassis review, and loading-site delivery.
- Loaded pickup and return to the assigned terminal when the booking and instructions are ready.
- Dispatch communication around timing, equipment fit, and terminal requirements.
- Local trucking coordination only, not the export-document or customs side.
What the exporter, forwarder, or loading party handles
- Title work, customs, vehicle prep, ocean booking, loading, and documentation.
- Loading labor, vehicle securement, and cargo legality.
- Loading-site readiness, equipment to load, and safe handoff timing.
- Any shipment-side licensed service outside the local drayage role.
Information we need for a quote
Send the booking, container, cargo, site, and cutoff details.
- Booking number, terminal, steamship line, container size/type, and cutoff details.
- Loading location, contact, hours, and whether the site is safe for container/chassis equipment.
- Vehicle or equipment type, count, estimated weight, and whether the move is non-hazmat.
- Who is loading and securing the cargo, and when the loaded pickup is expected.
Limitations and guardrails
Service is reviewed against the real booking, equipment, and loading constraints.
- Support is subject to booking status, documentation path, loading plan, terminal requirements, chassis/equipment fit, and capacity.
- SP Logistics does not claim to be the international mover, freight forwarder, NVOCC, customs broker, or loading party on this page.
- Non-hazmat vehicle and equipment cargo only on this public page unless a different supported scope is separately confirmed by the owner.
- Legal weight, site access, and safe loading conditions must be workable before dispatch can confirm fit.

Some moves are really export-loading questions, some are forwarder-driven, and some are better handled as auction or dropped-container programs.
