滞港费和滞箱费是两块不同的计时表
滞港费是码头向您收的钱，因为过了免堆期最后一天，箱子还在他们的堆场里。滞箱费是船公司向您收的钱，因为您还占着他们的箱子，而且箱子离开码头之后它照跑不误，一直跑到空箱还回去为止。
很多人把两者混为一谈，然后收到两张自己没预料到的账单。提前提箱能停下第一张。只有把箱子还回去，或者做换装转运提前还箱，才能停下第二张。
提前提箱要花多少，又能省下多少
我们在您还没准备好之前先把箱子收过来，放在堆场上。您付的是一趟运输加一点仓储费。您不用付滞港费，那是一笔按天累加、还会越滚越高的费用，它不管您仓库满没满，也不管有没有闸口预约。
这笔账几乎总是划算的一边，而要早说、不要拖到最后一天，理由很简单：在 SFCT，以及 Port Everglades 几乎所有码头，先有闸口时段，卡车才有用。值得记住的例外是 King Ocean，它没有预约系统；还有 PortMiami 的 Seaboard，平日开到7点，周六开到2点。如果您的免堆期最后一天跨在周末，而箱子在 Seaboard，那个周末不会自动作废。

What is the difference between demurrage and per diem?
Demurrage is the terminal charging you for the container still sitting in their yard past the last free day. Per diem is the shipping line charging you for having their box at all, and it keeps running after the container leaves the terminal, right up until it goes back empty. People conflate the two and then get two invoices they were not expecting. A pre-pull stops the first one. Only returning the box, or transloading the freight and returning it early, stops the second.
When should I order a pre-pull?
Earlier than the last free day. At SFCT and at nearly everything at Port Everglades a slot has to exist before a truck is any use, so calling on the final afternoon leaves nothing to work with. The exceptions worth knowing are King Ocean, which has no appointment system, and Seaboard at PortMiami, which runs until 7 during the week and opens Saturday until 2. If your last free day falls across a weekend and the box is at Seaboard, that weekend is not automatically lost, but that is the exception rather than the plan.
Does a pre-pull stop per diem as well?
No, and that is the part that catches people. The moment the container leaves the terminal it is off the terminal's clock, so demurrage stops, but the line's box is still out and per diem runs until it goes back empty. If the clock that is hurting is the line's, the fix is to empty the container and return it, either by devanning it at the dock or by transloading the freight onto a domestic trailer for the inland leg. A pre-pull buys you time; only the empty return ends the second bill.
Where does the container sit after a pre-pull?
On five acres of secured yard in Hialeah Gardens, roughly 20 road miles from PortMiami and about 25 from Port Everglades. It can sit grounded or stay on a chassis depending on how quickly it has to move again, and the two are billed differently because a chassis under a box is equipment tied up. The reason to hold it there rather than anywhere is that the truck that brought it and the truck that takes it away are the same operation, so a stored box is one call from moving again.
Is a pre-pull cheaper than paying demurrage?
Almost always, though it is a trade rather than a free move. You pay for a move and some storage. You do not pay demurrage, which is a daily charge that escalates and does not care that your warehouse is full or that no appointment was available. The comparison worth making is the storage days you actually need against the demurrage days you would otherwise buy, and the longer the box would have sat, the more one-sided that comparison gets.

一份拖车报价里到底包含什么？
运输本身，加上那些事后最容易让人措手不及的附加费：底盘车、提前提箱、滞箱费、滞港费、车辆滞留费和仓储费。我们宁可一开始就把它们说清楚，也不愿意事后加到账单上。
