THE DETAILS THAT MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
The details around the container matter.
A vessel date is only one part of the plan. The truck movement also depends on cargo availability, release status, receiving capacity, and equipment instructions.
- 01
For an import, establish readiness.
Share container numbers, terminal, availability, known last free day, release status, delivery appointment, and unloading needs.
- 02
For an export, work back from the cutoff.
Share booking details, empty pickup instructions, cargo-ready date, loading location, and applicable receiving window and cutoff.
- 03
Close the equipment loop.
Confirm the empty return location and instructions, how changes will be communicated, and which documents are needed after the move.
Support your customer beyond the vessel.
Storage and transfer requirements
Bring any holding or transloading requirements into the initial conversation. Provider, location, and availability are confirmed for the job.
