Tacoma Drayage
Ad Hoc Logistics is a Kent-based drayage carrier pulling import and export containers off the Port of Tacoma every day — Husky Terminal, Washington United Terminals and Pierce County Terminal — and delivering across the South Sound before the Last Free Day.
If your containers land at the Port of Tacoma, you want a drayage carrier that already knows the South Harbor — the terminals, the appointment systems and the traffic windows that decide whether a box moves clean or sits racking up demurrage. Our yard is in Kent, roughly 25 minutes up I-5 from the Tacoma terminals, so our drivers are on the gates early and your freight clears before the clock runs out. We run dispatch, terminal appointments and chassis in-house, which means no second carrier, no handoff gaps, and one team watching every container's free time.
What we move out of Tacoma
Pull-out from Husky, WUT or PCT to your door or our Kent yard, with appointment booking and Last Free Day tracking on every container.
Empty pickup, load at the shipper, and return to the terminal ahead of the cut-off — coordinated to your booking.
Container drayage to and from the Tacoma rail ramps, with drop-and-hook where it shaves time off the move.
Off the terminal and onto pallets the same day — we run transloading and cross-dock in-house, so heavy import boxes ship out on domestic trailers fast.
Refrigerated container handling and tri-axle chassis for overweight import loads off Tacoma — moved compliant and on schedule.
Prepull before the Last Free Day and secure container storage at our Kent yard, so a terminal appointment never becomes a demurrage bill.
The Port of Tacoma is the South Harbor of the Northwest Seaport Alliance, and its container terminals — Husky Terminal, Washington United Terminals (WUT) and Pierce County Terminal (PCT) — each run on their own appointment and gate rhythm. We dispatch against all of them daily, so we book the right slot, send the right chassis, and pull your box without the missed-appointment shuffle that turns a one-day move into a week of detention.
From the Tacoma gateway we deliver across the whole South Sound and beyond — Tacoma, Fife, Sumner, Puyallup, Lakewood, Federal Way, Auburn, Kent and Lacey — plus regional drayage throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana. And because we also run warehousing and 3PL at our Kent facility, a container can come off the Port of Tacoma, get unloaded, stored or reworked, and ship out the same week — all under one roof and one invoice.
All of the South Harbor container terminals — Husky Terminal, Washington United Terminals (WUT) and Pierce County Terminal (PCT) — for both import pull-outs and export returns.
We track each container's Last Free Day and per-diem clock from the moment it's available and prioritize the pull before charges start. When a terminal appointment is tight, we prepull to our Kent yard so the box is off the dock and off the demurrage clock.
Tacoma drayage is priced per container by lane — terminal to your destination zone — plus chassis, fuel and any accessorials such as prepull, chassis split or detention. Send us your delivery ZIP and container type and we'll quote it the same day.
Yes — tri-axle chassis for overweight import boxes and reefer handling with monitored plug-in at our yard when a drop is needed.
