Service area — Des Moines
Need freight moved in Des Moines? We pull your containers off the Port of Seattle and run the delivery — full drayage or a box truck for the last mile, on our own trucks, with one person on your account.
Whether it's a full container or a couple of pallets that don't need a 53-foot trailer, Des Moines freight needs a carrier who owns the trucks and plans the route. That's us.
Des Moines runs along Pacific Highway S near Sea-Tac, from the marina to the airport-adjacent freight. It's wedged between the Port of Seattle and the airport cargo corridor.
Because we're asset-based — our own trucks, chassis and drivers — we control the whole move into Des Moines instead of handing it to a subcontractor and hoping it shows. One team, one invoice, from the terminal to the door.
Not every load fills a trailer. We run both: container drayage straight off the terminal, and box-truck delivery — liftgate, inside and local drops — for palletized freight bound for Des Moines. Bigger regional hauls go on our OTR and final-mile service, and we transload when a container needs to become pallets first.

We track the Last Free Day on every container, pull it off the Port of Seattle before demurrage starts, and get it to Des Moines — drayage, transload or box-truck delivery, your call.

The move that matters is getting it off the terminal on time — before demurrage starts — and onto the right truck for the run to Des Moines. We watch the free-time clock on every box (here's what drayage is and how demurrage works), and for Des Moines deliveries that don't need a full trailer, a box truck is often the faster, cheaper call.
