Port of Virginia Signs Up Drivers for Chassis Rental Program

The Port of Virginia is signing up truck drivers for an online chassis rental program as ocean carriers move away from providing the equipment.

The voluntary program will be fully operational in October, according to the Port of Virginia and the site will manage chassis rental functions and integrate with an insurance compliance clearinghouse.

Currently ship lines are the only providers of chassis, the program is designed to transition away from that model towards third-party ownership.
