Common Terms
4
Members: Companies that have signed a CCM Pool Contributor and User Agreement. These can be:
‐ Contributors that use pool chassis directly‐ Chassis providers or UPC’s. Contribute equipment and their customers (UPC customers) use
pool chassis
UPC: Stands for Unitary Pool Concept. Is the abbreviation used for a chassis provider within a CCM pool that provides chassis that are used by its customers. This is typically a company in the chassis rental business.
Chassis Provider:
Same as UPC, provides chassis to its customers from within a CCM Pool
Ranking: Set by Motor Carriers to inform CCM of their preferred Chassis Provider. After confirming agreement with a Chassis Provider(s), Motor Carriers will prioritize the order of Chassis Providers
‐ The highest ranked Chassis Provider with which a Motor Carrier is in good standing will be assigned the usage. Usage Bans are set and removed by Chassis Providers
‐ Ranking is a National setting and is set until changed by the Motor Carrier
Exception or Declaration:
The creation of a rule to direct usage to a Chassis Provider different than the ranking under certain circumstances
Choice of Chassis ProviderAllowing Motor Carriers to freely choose the Chassis Provider promotes competition among contributors and creates a “market” within a pool.Ocean Carrier’s Responsibility • Inform CCM of their Chassis Provision Model:
Chassis Provider’s Responsibility • Inform CCM they have a valid confirmed agreement with a Motor Carrier• Have the capability to put Motor Carriers on or remove a usage ban
Motor Carrier’s Responsibility • Confirm agreements with Chassis Providers• Rank their Chassis Providers nationally. When a line as declared “Open Choice” the ranking
will be used to determine the Chassis Provider the Motor Carrier want usage assigned to• Can override their national ranking with an exception

‐ Open Choice Usage is assigned to Motor Carrier preferred Chassis Provider Motor Carrier chooses Provider

Guidelines for Motor Carrier Choice
• Motor Carriers only have to use the Chassis Provider Choice functionality in Chassis.com if they do not want usage assigned to the Line’s On Terminal Provider
• Following a Chassis Provider registering an agreement with a Motor Carrier, if the Motor Carrier doesn’t confirm the agreement they cannot steer usage to that Chassis Provider
• All updates must be in advance of CCM processing the gate activity– No Retroactive Changes
• Exceptions by Booking and B/L will only work if the Booking or B/L number entered into Chassis.com is an exact match to what CCM receives in the gate move transaction
