Class I Rail Ramp
Intermodal Drayage TMS
Stop paying $200/day rail storage penalties. Exspeedite tracks BNSF, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, and CSX ramp notifications, monitors grounded container status, manages chassis split billing, and executes touchless invoicing.
Rail Notification to LFD Countdown
Ingest train arrival and container grounded events automatically. Exspeedite computes the exact Last Free Day deadline based on each railroad's tariff schedule, alerting dispatchers before penalties accrue.
Chassis Interchange Reconciliation
Eliminate lost chassis billing. Track pool chassis (DCLI, TRAC, Flexi-Van) and private fleet equipment with auto-matched Interchange (TIR/EIR) gate receipts and per-diem accessorial auto-invoicing.
EDI 322 & 214 Rail Status Engine
Automate customer milestone reporting. Deliver sub-second EDI 214 and 322 status feeds to shippers and ocean lines the instant containers are pulled from the ramp and delivered to destination.
Class I Ramp Cutoff Schedules
Load each ramp's outbound cutoff by train and day of week. Exspeedite works backward from the cutoff to the shipper pickup, flags loads that cannot make the train, and shows dispatchers which export moves must roll first.
Yard Inventory Tracking
See every container and chassis sitting in your drop yard: loaded or empty, days on site, Last Free Day, and street turn candidates. Empties get matched to export bookings before per diem stacks up.
Frequently Asked Questions: Rail Ramp Drayage
How does Exspeedite track Class I rail ramp container availability?
Exspeedite ingests EDI 322 and 214 rail event feeds from BNSF, Union Pacific, Norfolk Southern, and CSX. The system identifies grounded container status and triggers automated Last Free Day (LFD) countdown clocks to prevent daily rail storage penalties.
Can drivers upload paper Equipment Interchange Receipts (EIR) from the rail gate?
Yes. Drivers use mobile camera capture to upload stamped rail gate Interchange (EIR/TIR) receipts directly from the cab. Exspeedite attaches the image to the load file and indexes equipment numbers for automated billing.
Does Exspeedite automate chassis split fee reconciliation?
Yes. When a chassis must be picked up from a merchant chassis pool (DCLI, TRAC, Flexi-Van) and returned to a different private lot, Exspeedite calculates the split move accessorial and pushes it directly to the customer invoice.
Does Exspeedite warn dispatchers about rail ramp cutoffs?
Yes. Ramp cutoff schedules are stored per train and day. Loads at risk of missing the cutoff are flagged on the dispatch board so they can be re-sequenced before the train leaves.
Can Exspeedite track containers sitting in our drop yard?
Yes. Yard inventory shows every container and chassis on site with load status, dwell days, and Last Free Day, so empties can be street turned or returned before per diem charges grow.
