DCLI works hard every day to be the industry’s chassis partner of choice.

We offer a variety of chassis procurement options to our customers – true chassis choice – enabling them to secure the equipment they need in the manner that best suits their book of drayage business. We invest in our fleet to ensure the safety and reliability of our chassis – over $1 billion in the last two years alone – and we have added equipment and repositioned chassis units across our network to ensure supply fluidity. As such, the dwell-driven “shortages” that occurred across the country, including at all major port and inland rail markets, as a direct result of COVID-related supply chain disruption have been resolved. Today, availability has returned to normal across the country and DCLI is preparing for future demand.

Unfortunately, a small group of the nation’s largest drayage trucking companies want a one-size-fits-all, government-dictated chassis market that would increase their profits at the expense of almost everyone else in the supply chain. They claim that a mandated gray pool is the only way to ensure the nation’s chassis supply when in fact the market already provides a wide range of options.
