Maersk Line is extending its Direct ChassisLink program to Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Rochester, Worcester, and Pittsburgh as of Feb. 1 of next year. … Under the program, truckers pay $11 per day for chassis but can use them any way they want until they return them. Ocean carriers traditionally have provided truckers with free chassis. … Under the DCLI program, chassis that originate from any of the port marine, inland area rail or container yard terminals will be subject to the DCLI model starting Feb. 1. A drayage company will be able to utilize the same DCLI chassis multiple times in one day for any ocean carrier’s or other container moves.
