U.S. Department Of Transportation To Begin Safety Inspections Of Truck Container Chassis
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will launch a safety inspection program for intermodal container chassis. The inspection program will provide added oversight to help ensure that the trailer beds used by truckers to haul cargo containers are safe.
Intermodal container chassis are the flat trailer beds that cargo containers are loaded onto when being transported by truck. They are used to transport more than $450 billion in cargo value entering and leaving the United States annually. Cargo containers being hauled by rail and shipping companies are regularly transferred to trucks before final delivery.
