About Shipping in Seattle
Seattle, Washington is the Pacific Northwest's largest city and a major deep-water port on Puget Sound. The Port of Seattle handles vehicle imports from Asia and serves as the primary shipping hub for the Pacific Northwest region. Its thriving tech economy drives strong demand for vehicle transport services.
I-5 is the primary north-south carrier route, connecting Seattle to Portland and the Canadian border. I-90 provides the main east-west route across the Cascade Range, though mountain passes can close in winter. Frequent rain does not typically delay shipping, but Cascade pass closures in winter can disrupt east-west routes.

Pallet Shipping FAQ — Seattle
Common questions about shipping pallets in the Seattle area.
How much does pallet shipping cost?
Pallet shipping costs typically range from $150 to $800 per pallet depending on weight, dimensions, distance, and freight class. Single-pallet LTL shipments on shorter routes start around $150-$300, while heavier or longer-distance shipments can run $500-$800. Full truckload rates are quoted based on mileage and capacity.
How long does pallet shipping take?
Transit times depend on distance and service level. Regional LTL shipments (under 500 miles) typically take 1-3 business days, mid-range routes average 3-5 business days, and cross-country freight usually takes 5-7 business days. Expedited and guaranteed delivery options are available.
What can I ship on a pallet?
Almost anything that can be safely palletized — auto parts, engines, equipment, building materials, furniture, appliances, machinery, and more. Items must be properly secured to the pallet with stretch wrap, banding, or crating. We can help with custom crating for odd-shaped items.
Do I need a loading dock for pickup or delivery?
No. We offer liftgate service for locations without a loading dock, including residential addresses. Liftgate delivery allows the driver to lower your pallet to ground level. Inside delivery and appointment scheduling are also available.
Is my freight insured during shipping?
Yes, every pallet shipment includes standard cargo insurance based on the declared value. We recommend documenting your shipment's contents and condition with photos before pickup. Additional full-value coverage is available for high-value freight.
