What is Chassis Fee and how to calculate it?
A Chassis Fee is a charge levied for the use of a chassis, which is a wheeled trailer frame used to support and transport shipping containers overland. The fee covers the cost of providing, maintaining, and using the chassis for the inland transportation of containers. Chassis fees may vary depending on factors such as the container size, the distance of transportation, and the specific terms of the contract or agreement with the carrier or terminal operator.
Calculation of the Chassis Fee
The calculation of the Chassis Fee can be based on various factors, and different carriers or service providers may have their own methods for determining the fee. It is typically a fixed amount per container or per mile for the transportation of a container using the chassis. Some common methods for calculating the chassis fee include a flat fee per container, a fee based on the distance traveled, or a combination of both. To get an accurate calculation, it is best to check with the carrier or service provider for their specific chassis fee structure.
