[QUOTE="stayinback, post: 6410409, member: 135360"]Domestic or import containers? Yes,There is a difference in how you set up. Next- Most steamship lines want volume cartage companies- 10 trucks minimum. If your serious about it- You must start out by contacting and registering with the UIIA And every port or Rail Hub you are to be registered with an Interchange agreement ,SCAC code and asking for a DUNS Number on File. You are too insure ,I Believe 2 million on Hub Agreements-With interchange on File with INS. Next,Soliciting your company to the Steamship Lines (Example-Evergreen America-Maersk,Mitsui etc) Overseas forwarders etc- Then once you contract business- You are to provide X amount of Power to them- If Not,Your History in a Flash. Its Very competitive and Everybody wants to be a cartage company in intermodal it seems. Domestic moves (the 53' footers you see) Already have the logistical side in place to carry through a customers request for rail movement- If you want to move those containers- You have to contact folks like- Hub City- CHRobinson- etc, Good Luck in your endeavors-[/QUOTE]
