Zero-Demurrage Intermodal Drayage TMS: Protect Margins at Port & Rail Gates
Engineered specifically for harbor draymen, rail ramp haulers, and container logistics operators. Automate Last Free Day (LFD) countdowns, reconcile chassis splits, capture clean TIR receipts, and invoice touchlessly within hours of delivery.
The Complete Intermodal Operating Engine
Everything drayage carriers need to conquer port congestion, chassis shortages, and terminal billing complexity.
Automated Last Free Day (LFD) Watch
Every container carries real-time LFD clocks. Color-coded alerts warn dispatchers 48 hours and 24 hours prior to storage penalty cutoffs. Prioritize pulled boxes automatically to eliminate $200-$400 daily detention fees.
Chassis Pool & Split Billing
Track off-dock chassis pickups and drops with complete equipment genealogy. Automatically allocate chassis daily use fees to customers, steamship lines, or proprietary pool accounts with zero billing confusion.
Gate Move TIR & EIR Document Imaging
Drivers photograph gate tickets directly at the terminal out-gate. Exspeedite auto-indexes the Equipment Interchange Receipt against the load ID, recording container condition, chassis roadability, and exact gate-out timestamps.
From Port Vessel Discharge to Yard Drop in One Workflow
Traditional TMS systems force drayage dispatchers to juggle container spreadsheets, port portals, and handwritten driver tickets. Exspeedite consolidates every container touchpoint into a single high-velocity screen.

Frequently Asked Intermodal Questions
How does Exspeedite eliminate ocean port demurrage and rail per diem charges?
Exspeedite Drayage Watch engine tracks every container from vessel discharge or rail grounding. It calculates exact Last Free Day (LFD) deadlines based on ocean carrier contract tariffs and terminal rules, triggering automated color-coded alerts (Green, Amber, Red) to dispatchers before costly penalty clocks start ticking.
How does the TMS handle chassis split billing and pool interchange fees?
Chassis management is fully integrated. When a driver picks up a chassis from an off-dock pool (DCLI, TRAC, Flexi-Van) and hooks a container at a marine terminal, Exspeedite logs both equipment IDs on the dispatch order and automatically generates separate accessorial lines for chassis rental days, split pick/drop fees, and ocean steamship line billing.
Can Equipment Interchange Receipts (EIR / TIR) be captured on mobile devices?
Yes. Drivers use the mobile document capture tool at terminal gates to scan inbound and outbound interchange receipts. Exspeedite auto-indexes the receipt to the container number, records chassis seal condition and damage notes, and timestamps gate passage for detention billing defense.
Does Exspeedite integrate with Class I railroads and ocean port portals?
Exspeedite supports EDI 322 container event messaging, EDI 204 tender ingest, and direct API integrations with CargoSprint, Class I rail portals (BNSF, UP, CSX, Norfolk Southern), and major marine operating systems (Navis N4, Tideworks) to synchronize container availability and gate reservations.
