Pre-Pull & Container Storage
GIVE YOUR CONTAINER PLAN ROOM TO MOVE.
Pre-pull and yard storage support for the gap between terminal availability and your receiving schedule.
When a container becomes available before the receiver can accept it, a pre-pull moves it from the terminal to temporary yard storage ahead of final delivery. Vanguard coordinates release status, Last Free Day (LFD), equipment, and receiving appointments to plan those steps.
Container storage
Container storage holds the loaded container between terminal pickup and delivery. If the cargo needs to be unloaded or palletized, our team can review warehouse services as part of the same plan.
- Container storage planning
- Delivery timing coordination
- Connection to warehouse services when required
Responsive operations
Our operations staff work through changes that can affect a container move.
- Terminal issues and container holds
- Appointment adjustments
- Empty-return location or timing changes
