Customer Advisory: New OOCL Chassis Policy (Midwest)

Effective January 1, 2013, OOCL will no longer provide chassis for import and export shipments to/from Kansas City, Mo/KS, Omaha, Ne/Council Bluffs, Ia. and St. Louis, Mo.

All motor carriers, either working as suppliers for OOCL or OOCL customers, must provide chassis for these shipments. Chassis usage fees for Merchant (CY) moves should be billed by the motor carrier directly to their customer.

If motor carriers plan on renting or leasing chassis at these locations, OOCL’s recommended chassis provider for this area is CNC (Container Navigation Corp.) as all intermodal containers arriving by rail via BNSF and UPRR will be de-ramped onto CNC chassis. Containers delivered to or from these rail ramps on non CNC chassis will require a flip at the motor carrier’s expense. Motor carriers are encouraged to execute interchange agreements with chassis providers as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition.

If you have any questions regarding this change, please contact your local OOCL Sales or Customer Service representative in the USA or Canada at 1-888-388-6625.
