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.

What are some innovative ways to recruit drivers? Join us as our experts identify current driver recruiting and retention trends, explore innovative driver recruiting techniques and discuss building a well-rounded recruiting program.

While veteran unemployment rates remain below the national average, roughly 200,000 service members transition out of the armed services every year.

With truckload capacity projected to decrease and costs on the rise, there has never been a better time to look to intermodal shipping for a dependable solution. As a logistics provider looking to deliver scalability and flexibility to your customers, intermodal simply makes sense.

Addressing an industry need for streamlined exchange of intermodal equipment among motor carriers, IANA developed an online platform that facilitates what are commonly referred to as “street interchanges” and “street turns.” The Street Interchange Application brings a standard industry solution to existing practices and integrates with the UIIA, as administered by IANA.

Based on requests from GIER Subscribers and industry stakeholders of the IANA’s Information Service Advisory Group, several new features were recently developed to add functionality to the GIER application.

IANA has developed several new features within its UIIA and Street Interchange applications that will offer expanded functionalities to UIIA Equipment Providers.
