Truck staging rules at Pierce County Terminal/Evergreen aim to alleviate congestion before the terminal opens at 8 a.m.

New early morning truck staging

Between 5 and 8 a.m. Monday through Friday:

  • Trucks are allowed to stage on the right shoulder of southbound SR 509 between Alexander Avenue and Taylor Way
  • Terminal access is prohibited from northbound SR 509 or eastbound Alexander Avenue
  • Terminal access is not allowed from northbound Alexander Avenue from US 99/Pacific Highway East.

Truckers that fail to stage properly may be subject to fines.
