Intermodal Loads for Owner Operators in Seattle & Tacoma
DrayNow offers a free mobile app that owner operators can download to access intermodal loads in their area, including the Seattle-Tacoma region. The loads that will be available on the app are 53’ containers that require power only units to haul.
A typical intermodal haul involves the carrier picking up the 53’ container from the rail yard, bringing it to a warehouse location, and then returning the container back to the rail ramp. Since there is back and forth from the rail, intermodal loads are much shorter than over-the-road hauls, and will generally stay within a 250-mile radius.
These intermodal loads in this market will be originating out of the BNSF South Seattle and Stacy yards, the Union Pacific Seattle intermodal terminal, the BNSF North and South yards in Tacoma and the UP TacSim ramp. Since these loads are shorter runs, they will most likely stay within Washington state.
Carriers can go ahead and download the DrayNow app at the link below to get started on registration.
