Kent, Washington
Kent, WA Container Drayage Services
The Kent Valley takes more of our containers than any other delivery area. Boxes come off the Seattle and Tacoma terminals and run into the distribution centers and 3PL docks along West Valley Highway, S 212th and the 167 corridor. Every one of those moves is on our own tractor and our own chassis.

Port & rail work in Kent
Terminal pulls into the valley
Kent sits between both terminal groups, so an import container can be pulled from Seattle or Tacoma and delivered on the consignee’s appointment the same day where the terminal window allows.
3PL and DC appointments
Kent Valley facilities run on strict receiving windows. Dispatch books to the window and delivers for live unload at your dock or drop-and-hook, depending on how the facility wants to work.
Street turns and empty returns
Where a Kent consignee’s empty can go straight to a Kent shipper, we street turn it instead of running two trips — fewer miles and fewer per-diem days.
Export loading out of Kent
For exports we pick the empty, run it to the Kent shipper to load, then return it to the Seattle or Tacoma terminal inside the receiving window.
Company equipment on the Kent lane
Kent runs on our own tractors and chassis, including extendable chassis for 40ft and 45ft boxes. When a Kent appointment lands early in the morning, the container can sit overnight in our Tacoma yard so the driver starts the day loaded.
Why the valley works from our yard
Kent is a short run from the Tacoma yard and an easy reach from the Seattle terminals, which is why it is our densest delivery area. We keep terminal detail to what is confirmed — dispatch verifies the specific facility for your booking.
