Inside delivery, debris removal, assembly, and final-mile placement — uniformed two-person teams, lift-gate trucks, and appointment delivery windows. Serving Seattle, Washington and the surrounding region with direct-carrier equipment.
📞 Call (786) 574-5774 ✉️ rates@ship-ati.comATI runs white-glove delivery into and out of Seattle every business day. Our local lane planners know the access points across Kent Valley, Tukwila, Auburn, SODO and the Tacoma Tideflats industrial district, the dwell patterns at Seattle and Tacoma terminals (Northwest Seaport Alliance) — T-5, T-18, T-30, Husky and Washington United terminals, the gate hours at BNSF Seattle International Gateway (SIG), UP Argo, Tacoma Rail interchange, and the cargo handling at Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) cargo plus Boeing Field (BFI) freighter operations. That local fluency is the difference between a 6-hour pickup and a 16-hour dwell.
Seattle's freight economy is anchored in Northwest Seaport Alliance import containers, aerospace (Boeing) and tech hardware, seafood and refrigerated exports. ATI moves white-glove delivery for shippers across these sectors with equipment that matches the commodity — not a generic dry van assigned to whatever pays today's spot rate. When you ship white-glove delivery into or out of Seattle, you should be working with a carrier that has been moving this commodity profile in this market for years, not a brokerage clicking 'auto-book' on a load board.
Uniformed, background-checked two-person crews. No solo deliveries on white-glove appointments.
Final placement in the room of choice — not curbside, not threshold, not garage.
Optional assembly of furniture, fitness equipment, medical devices, and display fixtures.
All packaging, pallets, and shrink wrap removed and disposed of by the crew at no extra charge.
Scheduled 2-hour delivery windows confirmed 24 hours before service with the consignee.
Full replacement value coverage on every white-glove shipment — not 60-cent-per-pound LTL minimums.
White-glove is where most freight relationships break. The product arrived undamaged, the BOL says delivered, but the consignee got handed a 400-lb crate at the curb and a 'good luck' shrug. ATI runs white-glove as a service category, not as a checkbox on the LTL tariff.
Our white-glove operations use lift-gate trucks staffed by uniformed two-person crews with photographed credentialing. Crews carry furniture sliders, blanket pads, basic assembly tools, and a vacuum for post-delivery cleanup. Every appointment is confirmed by SMS and call 24 hours in advance, the crew calls 30 minutes out, and the consignee signs a photo-attached delivery confirmation. Damage incidents are documented with photo evidence on-site and escalated to claims within 1 business hour. We do not subcontract white-glove to third-party last-mile networks.
The Seattle freight market has thinned considerably over the past 18 months. Brokerages that opened during the 2020-2022 freight boom — many of which never owned a truck — have been winding down. The shippers who held those broker relationships are now looking for carriers with their own equipment, their own drivers, and an operational track record that goes back further than the last cycle. ATI fits that brief: a direct carrier with our own iron, our own dispatch, our own compliance desk, and direct-line phone access to actual human beings 24 hours a day.
Below are three of our most active Seattle lanes for white-glove delivery, with current dry-van per-mile ranges and realistic transit. Rates assume a standard 48 or 53 ft trailer; specialty equipment (RGN, reefer, heavy haul) prices differently — call dispatch for a binding quote on your specific commodity.

|---|---|---|---|
