Why D&G
Why choose D&G for port drayage
Our own trucks and chassis
Port pulls are covered by company equipment rather than brokered out, so a busy gate week does not turn into a capacity problem for your containers.
Last free day awareness
Dispatch watches availability and last free day on every import box and tells you where the exposure is before per-diem starts stacking up.
Appointments handled in-house
We book, re-book and chase terminal appointments ourselves instead of pushing that work back to your team.
Process
How it works
- 01
Container details received
You send the container, line, terminal and delivery address. Dispatch confirms what is needed to release.
- 02
Availability and appointment
We track customs and line release, then secure the terminal appointment that fits the delivery window.
- 03
Pull and deliver
The container is pulled and run live, dropped, or staged in our Tacoma yard when the dock is not ready.
- 04
Empty return closed out
The empty is returned against the line's instructions and confirmed back to you.
Pacific Northwest operations
Working Seattle and Tacoma daily
Our trucks run the Seattle and Tacoma terminals every operating day, which means drivers already know gate flow, queue behavior and empty return quirks. Our yard sits minutes from the Port of Tacoma, so a container pulled against last free day has somewhere to go immediately.
Our trucks. Our chassis. Our yard.

FAQ
Port Drayage questions
- We pull from the Seattle and Tacoma terminals only. Delivery runs out from there across Washington and Oregon, with longer regional lanes on request.
- Yes. The same carrier handles the pull, the delivery and the empty return, so one team is accountable for the whole cycle.
- The container can be staged on our chassis at our Tacoma yard and delivered when your receiving window opens.
