What freight in Lakewood actually looks like

Lakewood's economy is shaped by the military presence at JBLM and by serving the South Sound population around it. Freight here is steady and service-oriented rather than port-driven, with delivery reliability mattering more than raw speed.

Moving freight between Lakewood and our Kent floor

The lane runs I-5 south past Tacoma, and the natural gateway is the Port of Tacoma. That matters more than it sounds: a short, predictable move means we can pull a container the day it is available, unload it into our warehouse, and start shipping from inventory instead of paying to store freight on a chassis. We also serve Tacoma, DuPont, Olympia, so freight moving between them can be consolidated rather than run as separate partial loads.

Day to day that means storage by the pallet instead of a fixed lease, pick and pack for orders going out, cross-docking when freight should not be stored at all, and container drayage when it starts at a terminal. One team, one warehouse, one invoice.

Common questions from Lakewood shippers

Do I need a minimum volume to use a 3PL?
No. We bill by the pallet and by the order, so a Lakewood business shipping a few hundred orders a month is a normal account, not an exception. That is the point of using a warehouse instead of leasing one.

How fast can you get freight from Kent to Lakewood?
Lakewood is inside our regular delivery footprint, so same-day and next-day are both realistic depending on cut-off time and what else is on the truck. Tell us the delivery window you have promised and we will tell you honestly whether we can hold it.

Can you handle my imports too, not just storage?
Yes, and that is usually where the savings are. We pull the container from the Port of Tacoma before the last free day, unload it at our dock, and put the freight straight into inventory — so you are not paying demurrage at the terminal and per-diem on the box while you look for space.
