The Driver Vehicle Inspection Report, or DVIR, submission process is fast and easy and offers a simple way to identify damages at the in-gate so the equipment can be inspected and repaired. It also is a regulatory requirement. Unfortunately, in practice, very few of actual damages are reported by drivers on DVIRs.

The FMCSA joins IANA’s Intermodal Chassis Driver Vehicle Inspection Reporting Standards Task Force to discuss the role that DVIRs play in improving road-ready intermodal equipment, the consequences of not completing them, examine common misconceptions, and review results of the driver study, video and informational card the task force has developed to improve driver awareness.

Learning objectives:

• Review results of the DVIR driver study conducted by IANA
• Discuss the role DVIRs play in improving road ready intermodal equipment
• Examine common misconceptions about DVIRs
• Review IANA developed tools to improve driver awareness
• Discuss how to engage drivers and increase DVIR submission

IANA’s Bad Order Equipment Status Service — BOES — provides a clearinghouse for equipment status information (bad order, gate hold, release) that allows for standardization of data communication formats, simplification of operating system interconnectivity and streamlining of trading partner information for all subscribers related to bad order equipment. This webinar will walk IEPs, Facility Operators and Maintenance and Repair Vendors through the features and functionalities of the BOES application to show how it can be used as an industry tool for ensuring a road ready chassis.

IANA’s Bad Order Equipment Status Service — BOES — provides a clearinghouse for equipment status information (bad order, gate hold, release) that allows for standardization of data communication formats, simplification of operating system interconnectivity and streamlining of trading partner information for all subscribers related to bad order equipment. The Global Intermodal Equipment Registry — GIER — offers a virtual technology solution to meet the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations requiring the identification of intermodal equipment and the intermodal equipment provider responsible for maintenance and repair of that equipment. This webinar will provide attendees with an overview of recent enhancements to both of these programs.

In reviewing Roadside Inspection data for intermodal equipment, the most often cited violations include brakes, lights and tires. IANA’s Maintenance and Repair Committee continues to produce a high-level analysis of the FMCSA data for members, which also can be viewed in Intermodal Insights. This webinar will explore what data that is available, different methods of analysis, and how to use the results to be more proactive to enhance safety and maintenance & repair operations.

Learning objectives

• Discuss what data is available
• Identify methods of data analysis
• Examine analytics-aided purchasing, maintenance, and repair programs

Every quarter IANA delivers a comprehensive review of the intermodal freight industry by equipment and corridor in its Intermodal Market Trends & Statistics Report. Coupled with IMC loads and revenue numbers, as well as trucking industry results, this report offers invaluable insights into current intermodal market performance and examines key long term-trends.

Join Pat Casey, Vice President, Fleet Management at TTX Company, Edgar Gutierrez, Director of Market Development, TTX Co. and Peter Wolff, Director, Market Development at TTX Company as they discuss the financial results from the second quarter of 2017, examine what the numbers mean and help explain how you can use the Intermodal Market Trends & Statistics Report in your business today.

As of December 18th, 2017, all motor carriers will need to be in compliance with FMCSA’s new electronic logging device (ELD) regulations. There are certain exceptions to the rule, most notably the 100-air-mile radius exemption, but how will these actually affect intermodal draymen? No two intermodal motor carriers are the same, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Join our experts as we discuss the fundamentals of the forthcoming ELD requirements, identify potential challenges and opportunities the rule presents and review an action plan to prepare for compliance.

Audiences:

Motor Carriers, UIIA participants, Suppliers

Learning objectives:

• Discuss the fundamentals of the forthcoming ELD requirements as they relate to intermodal
• Identify potential challenges and opportunities the rule presents
• Review an action plan to prepare for compliance

Participants:

• Fred Fakkema, Vice President, Compliance, Zonar Systems
• Joe DeLorenzo, Director, Office of Enforcement and Compliance, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
