Insurance for intermodal and drayage operations.
Drayage moves containers between ports, rail yards, and warehouses, which adds container, chassis, and port exposure on top of standard trucking risk. Coverage has to account for equipment you do not own and the freight inside the box.

Containers and chassis you don't own
Drayage means hauling containers and often chassis that belong to the steamship line, the railroad, or a chassis pool, not you. Damage to that non-owned equipment is your responsibility under interchange agreements, so trailer interchange or container and chassis coverage matters as much as your own physical damage.
Port, rail, and access requirements
Ports and rail terminals impose their own insurance and access requirements, including specific limits and sometimes uniform intermodal interchange agreement (UIIA) compliance for the equipment you pull. Meeting those requirements is a condition of working the terminals.
Cargo and short-haul exposure
Drayage is usually short-haul and high-volume, with the cargo inside the container as your responsibility while it is in your possession. We line up motor truck cargo, liability, and the non-owned equipment coverage around how your drayage actually runs.
