TRAC Intermodal is monitoring the contract negotiations between the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) and the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) and preparing for a potential work stoppage following the expiration of their master contract at 11:59 p.m. on Monday, September 30, 2024. 

If a work stoppage does occur, port facilities in the following locations may be impacted:

• Baltimore
• New York/New Jersey
• Philadelphia
• Houston
• Mobile
• New Orleans
• Tampa

TRAC Intermodal continues to repair chassis in anticipation of increased demand in these impacted locations. In the event of a work stoppage, details regarding the locations accepting bare TRAC chassis will be available daily on www.tracintermodal.com beginning October 1st.  

TRAC Intermodal will offer per diem relief to motor carriers in markets where all return locations have reached full capacity and are no longer accepting returns. To request per diem relief, motor carriers should contact customerservice@tracintermodal.com. To be eligible for relief, a motor carrier must demonstrate that it was in possession of a bare TRAC chassis at the time of the attempted return. If granted, relief will commence on the day following the date on which motor carrier attempted the return and continue until the date on which any in-market location resumes accepting bare TRAC chassis. Additional details will be available on www.tracintermodal.com.

TRAC Intermodal will continue to monitor the situation in an effort to minimize the impacts on its customers and other stakeholders. TRAC Intermodal reserves the right to modify its policy regarding per diem relief as the situation evolves.
