Terminal Congestion at Kansas City
 

Jan 17, 2018

 

Kansas City is experiencing severe congestion account of consistently high volumes and slowed terminal operations resulting from extremely cold temperatures. These circumstances have caused a severe domestic chassis shortage. As a result, customers should expect shipment availability delays of at least 48 hours.  Although there is currently enough equipment to satisfy open reservations, we expect empty EMP availability to be very limited over the next 24-48 hours.

 

We will provide updates as additional information becomes available.

Ingate Closure - Kansas City

Jan 19, 2018

 

Kansas City continues to experience severe congestion account consistently high volumes and slowed terminal operations resulting from the recent extreme cold temperatures. The derailment in Valley City, IL further heighted these operational challenges as it disrupted equipment flows to and from the facility. 

 

As a result the ingate at Kansas City for all International traffic will close effective, 12:00pm CDT today, Friday January 19, 2018.

 

Shipments ingated prior to the gate closure will be loaded and advanced to destination as operations allow. The Kansas City Intermodal facility will remain operational during the gate closure, and we ask that customers make every attempt to pull equipment from Kansas City as quickly as possible. We will reopen our International ingate as soon as conditions warrant.
