Abstract:

Ocean carriers serving the United States have traditionally provided chassis to move their containers to and from customers. Because of the high cost of providing chassis and the increasing government concerns over the safety and roadability, ocean carriers have provided notice to their customers that they will no longer provide chassis in the U.S. While change in the short term is difficult, a change in ownership may improve safety, supply chain productivity and equipment utilization among other operating variables. This paper analyzes how intermodal performance, inside and outside the terminal gates, might change as ownership and management of the chassis fleet changes.
