Chassis Use Surcharge
Increasingly, major shipping lines are announcing that they will no longer provide chassis for import and export cargo in a growing number of U.S. markets. We are starting to see many of the ocean carriers begin the implementation of chassis elimination into our region as they announced last year. As a result, we are seeing a slight increase in local drayage cost as well as daily chassis usage fees varying from $20.00 per day to $25.00 per day with a two day minimum.
