Update #2 10/3/2024
Per Diem Relief Program for chassis mounted with Empty Containers
All SACP 3.0 chassis with an associated empty container on the street at the start of a work stoppage, or made empty during the work stoppage, will not incur charges for those days the ports are closed due to the work stoppage and for the period that the empty is reported to CCM; charges will resume 48 hours once stoppage is over. All chassis will continue to be associated to the motor carrier that last out-gated the chassis. Motor carriers associated with an off-terminal SACP 3.0 chassis will be responsible for its welfare, as outlined in the SACP 3.0 Master Chassis Interchange Agreement and/ or the SACP 3.0 Tariff.
In order to receive per diem relief for chassis mounted with an Empty Container that you are unable to return, please complete and submit Per Diem Relief Form, with all requested information to ensure chassis identification.
All relief requests will be reviewed and logged as they arrive and once the Empty Container and Chassis are returned to an SACP 3.0 Start Stop location that has been affected by the ILA work Stoppage within 48hrs of the gates re opening a usage credit will be applied to your account.
