Service overview
Storage-focused support for port freight.
SP Logistics provides Tacoma-based yard storage and limited palletized warehouse storage for Seattle and Tacoma port and rail freight, including pre-pulls, loaded and empty container staging, palletized loading/unloading, and delivery timing support. Storage is reviewed by capacity, cargo type, equipment needs, timing, and customer requirements.
Yard storage
Container storage, staging and timing support.
Yard storage helps when terminal pickup, rail availability, receiver appointment timing or final delivery requirements do not line up cleanly.
Kent and Auburn yard spot availability
Additional Kent and Auburn yard spots may be reviewed when lane timing, receiver appointments, or delivery planning require flexible storage options.
Container pre-pull support
Containers can be reviewed for pre-pull when terminal availability, LFD, receiver appointments, or delivery timing do not align.
Loaded and empty container staging
Loaded and empty containers may be staged based on yard capacity, chassis needs, cargo type, timing, and final delivery requirements.
Delivery timing support
Storage can help bridge timing between port or rail pickup, warehouse storage, receiver appointments, and final delivery.
Equipment timing review
Chassis, reefer, special equipment, yard duration, and return timing are reviewed before storage is confirmed.
Palletized warehouse support
Limited warehouse support for palletized freight.
Warehouse support is narrow and operationally defined. It is focused on palletized freight storage, palletized loading, and palletized unloading when scope, capacity, freight type, labor, equipment, and timing are confirmed.
Palletized warehouse storage
Warehouse support is available for palletized freight that needs short-term storage before loading, final delivery, or receiver availability.
Palletized loading and unloading
SP Logistics can review palletized loading and unloading needs based on freight type, appointment timing, equipment, labor, and facility capacity.
Holding freight until ready
Palletized freight may be held until the shipment is ready for final delivery, receiver appointment, loading, or customer release.
When storage helps
Storage can create breathing room between pickup and delivery.
Storage is useful when a container is available before the receiver is ready, when a pre-pull is needed, or when palletized freight needs short-term holding before delivery or loading.
Terminal pickup is available before receiver appointment
Storage can help bridge the gap between port or rail availability and receiver delivery timing.
Container needs to be pre-pulled before LFD
When timing allows, pre-pull support can reduce schedule pressure and help protect the delivery plan.
Palletized freight needs temporary storage
Palletized freight can be reviewed for warehouse storage before loading, receiver availability, or final delivery.
Receiver cannot accept same-day delivery
Storage can help when receiver windows, appointment limits, or delivery restrictions create timing conflicts.
Loaded or empty container needs staging
Loaded and empty staging can be reviewed based on yard capacity, cargo type, chassis needs, and storage duration.
Driver, chassis, or yard timing needs coordination
Dispatch reviews storage dates, equipment needs, delivery timing, and final closeout details before confirming the plan.
