If the issue of chassis availability could be resolved it would have a major impact on the speed of the flow of goods through U.S. ports and could eliminate related additional charges for beneficial cargo owners. Currently the major chassis leasing companies, academics and technology providers are working together to form a solution to improve chassis tracking and demand forecasting.  There are many operational challenges to overcome including the last minute changes that ocean carriers and terminal operators make that causes the chassis data to become invalid.  The industry understands the importance of real time updates and the impact chassis availability has on the flow of goods and is prioritizing efforts to improve.
