Okay, I'm officially frustrated. Our containers landed in Seattle three days ago and our usual drayage carrier is giving us the runaround with no available trucks for at least a week. These per-day port fees are insane. How are other small businesses handling this? I just need a reliable contact who can actually move a container from the terminal to a local warehouse. Any personal recommendations would save my sanity.
That's the worst spot to be in, it eats into all your margin. We had the exact same issue until we partnered with a local outfit that treats the port move as part of a single process, not a separate headache. Their coordination is on point. I highly recommend looking into a dedicated drayage intermodal https://pnwwarehousing.com/drayage/ provider like the one we use. Having a single point of contact for the entire port pull and warehouse handoff eliminated all the blame-shifting and got our goods moving. It was a total turnaround for us.
