Inland Rail Transit Advisories

We are also experiencing congestion at all major rail facilities in Chicago, Columbus, and Los Angeles UP and BNSF rail ramps. We expect delays in picking-up and delivering containers at these locations.

U.S. East Coast

• CSX Bedford Park reservation update - The open gate RVs for Bedford Park (to JAX and Cleveland) are temporarily turned off and the standing RVs are reduced at this time.
• Bedford Park will advise when they can begin accepting a normal level of gate reservations soon.

U.S. Midwest

• Chicago/Dallas Import - Due to congestion at destination ramps and accumulating backlog of cargo at origin ports, delays are to be expected in origin departure from Long Beach and Oakland for rail deliveries to the Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth areas. Please arrange for timely pick up of all arriving import units at destination to assist with drive for operations fluidity.
• Chicago Chassis Constraints - Chassis shortages have been observed in the Chicago market, resulting in potential delays.
• BNSF Logistics Park (Chicago) – Have removed all destination specific ingate restrictions. All destinations including LGB ITS will be open for receiving during normal published hours of operations.
• Detroit NS – NS Livernois has REMOVED the restriction surrounding export allocations.

U.S. West Coast

Chassis Shortage – Due to persistent congestion nationwide, chassis shortages continue to be observed resulting in potential delays for pick-up and delivery.

Equipment Availability

Equipment availability continues to be an issue at the locations below.

Due to the increased volume, we are experiencing reduced trucking capacity in most areas in North America. This will result in delays picking up and delivering cargo. Please reference trucking dispatch heat chart to indicate dispatching time for each major area.

Note: Truck Order Lead Time (days) = Number of days lead time required to secure truck capacity. 2 days is standard/considered normal.
