Who has your back

Meet your dispatch

Our dispatch team has many years of experience in container drayage at the Port of Seattle and the Port of Tacoma. We know every terminal, every gate and every receiver in Washington. We love logistics, and we commit fully to taking care of our drivers. Your dispatcher books your terminal appointment before you leave, keeps a chassis ready on our yard, and answers the phone when a gate closes early or a dock is full. Pre-pull, chassis split, standby and overweight permit are planned ahead and added to your weekly pay. You drive and get paid. We handle the rest.

How am I paid?

Per move, plus every accessorial as its own line: chassis split, standby, overweight, hazmat, bobtail, dry run. Paid weekly, without delays or hidden charges.

Am I home every night?

Yes on port work: terminals in Seattle and Tacoma, deliveries in the Kent and Tacoma valley, back to the yard at the end of the shift. Long-haul runs to OR, ID, MT and UT exist for drivers who want them.

Which truck will I drive?

A Long Road day cab with an ELD, assigned to you, with a chassis ready on our yard. You do not hunt for equipment at the terminal.
