A pre-pull is when a port-bound container is stored at the trucker’s yard before delivery. Pre-pulls can prevent demurrage expenses.
When a trucker pre-pulls a container from the port rather than delivering it right away, the container is kept at the trucker’s yard.
If you can’t accept a delivery before the Last Free Day or if your ultimate delivery destination needs an appointment, a pre-pull can help you avoid expensive demurrage penalties.
A pre-pull will, if applicable, be included as an Origin or Destination Charge on your invoice.
