Winter Weather Strikes Seattle

Due to current weather conditions and upcoming forecasts in the Pacific Northwest, most if not all carriers are at very limited operational capacity or closed all together. Our partner’s Management, Dispatchers, and Drivers will make the best decisions within their scope of available resources and equipment and keep safety as the top priority. Service delays and backlogs are expected in most cases for shipments in transit to or from the Pacific Northwest or scheduled but not yet picked up. Some carriers may operate in the “commercial zone” and avoid “outlying areas” however we should not expect that if a shipment is picked up today that it will travel to destination on time. CWW Seattle office is at limited staff.  Current forecasts show freezing temperatures until around Thursday at 3pm.  If you need immediate assistance please call as below:
