Fife Drayage

Container drayage in Fife — next door to the port.

Fife sits right against the Port of Tacoma Tideflats, which makes it one of the shortest drays in the region. For Fife's warehouses and truck yards, a container can be off the terminal and at your dock in minutes.

Fife is about as close to the Port of Tacoma as a city gets — the Tideflats and the container terminals are essentially next door, and Fife's warehouse and trucking district grew up around exactly that. For a Fife shipper, the drayage advantage is distance: the pull from Husky, WUT or PCT is a few minutes, and the empty goes back just as fast, so per-diem barely has a chance to start. We dispatch against all the Tacoma terminals daily and run the short Fife leg with our own trucks and chassis.

The shortest dray in the South Sound

When your warehouse is in Fife, proximity is the whole advantage — and it's wasted if your carrier is dispatching from far away or juggling brokered trucks. We pull off the Port of Tacoma's Husky, WUT and PCT terminals directly and run the short hop into Fife, with one dispatch team watching every container's appointment and free time. From Fife we also serve the neighboring South Sound — Tacoma, Milton, Edgewood, Puyallup, Sumner and Federal Way — plus regional drayage across the Northwest.

Need the box unloaded or held? Our warehouse and transload dock are a short run north in Kent, so drayage and warehousing stay under one roof and one invoice. (See also Port of Tacoma drayage.)
