49 CFR § 390.40 INTERMODAL ROADABILITY RULE

Port Chassis Roadability & IEP Audit

Stop absorbing chassis defects onto your carrier CSA score. Enforce 49 CFR 390.40 pre-trip documentation, transfer pool chassis citations to IEPs (DCLI, TRAC, Flexi-Van), and audit container twist-locks.

01

Twist-Lock Pin Engagement

All 4 corner casting twist-locks must seat and latch fully into the 90° locked position with safety latch pins engaged before departing port marine gates.

02

IEP Citation Transfer

Under FMCSA rules, roadability citations (cracked brake drums, bald tires, non-functioning LED lights) on pool chassis must be transferred to the chassis pool IEP via DataQs.

03

Digital Outgate DVIR

Drivers photograph bad-order chassis components and log outgate TIR interchange tickets inside the Exspeedite mobile app, creating undeniable pre-existing defect proof.

04

7-Way Pigtail & Air Lines

Ocean salt spray corrodes terminal brass pins. Inspect gladhands and 7-way receptacles to prevent ABS fault codes and roadside Level II out-of-service citations.
