Chassis Usage Fee

Chassis Usage Fee is a charge imposed by transportation companies for using a chassis, a trailer designed to transport shipping containers over land.

This fee covers the cost of renting and maintaining the chassis, which is essential for moving containers from ports or rail terminals to their inland destinations. The fee may vary depending on the chassis type, duration of use, and the service provider’s policies.

Proper management of chassis usage ensures efficient cargo movement while helping shippers accurately forecast logistics expenses.
