Box-truck delivery & container drayage in Shoreline, WA

Need freight moved in Shoreline? 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.

Ad Hoc Logistics drayage and box-truck delivery serving Shoreline, WA

Whether it's a full container or a couple of pallets that don't need a 53-foot trailer, Shoreline freight needs a carrier who owns the trucks and plans the route. That's us.

Freight in Shoreline

Shoreline caps north Seattle along Aurora Ave and I-5 — Aurora Square, the retail corridor and the new light-rail stations. Freight moves through on the way north, and plenty stops here.

Because we're asset-based — our own trucks, chassis and drivers — we control the whole move into Shoreline instead of handing it to a subcontractor and hoping it shows. One team, one invoice, from the terminal to the door.

Box truck or full container — one call

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 Shoreline. Bigger regional hauls go on our OTR and final-mile service, and we transload when a container needs to become pallets first.

Shoreline, WA

From the terminal to a Shoreline dock, on one set of wheels.

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

How the Port of Seattle connects to Shoreline

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

Shoreline freight FAQ

Do you deliver freight in Shoreline, WA?

Yes. Ad Hoc Logistics runs container drayage and box-truck delivery to Shoreline and across the Puget Sound, on our own asset-based fleet.

Can you handle both containers and smaller box-truck loads?

Both. We dray full containers off the Port of Seattle and run box trucks for palletized freight that doesn't need a 53-foot trailer — liftgate, inside and local delivery included.

Which port does Shoreline freight come through?

Usually the Port of Seattle. We pull the container off the terminal before the Last Free Day and run it to Shoreline, so demurrage never gets a chance to start.

Are you asset-based or a broker?

Asset-based — our own trucks, chassis and drivers. That means we control the pickup, the pull and the delivery into Shoreline instead of relying on a subcontractor.
