Truck staging rules aim to alleviate congestion on State Route 509 before Pierce County Terminal opens at 8 a.m. 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
Truckers that fail to stage properly may be subject to fines.
