According to Yang Ming's plan, chassis will no longer be provided to the following nine East and South East U.S. locations beginning November 1, 2010:
Baltimore, MD / Buffalo, NY / Jacksonville, FL / Miami, FL / Philadelphia, PA / Pittsburgh, PA / South Kearny, NJ / Tampa, FL and Worcester, MA.
Yang Ming believes this new, multi-phase chassis policy will improve efficiencies on many levels within the international and local supply chain. Truckers will now have greater flexibility, and terminal congestion will be reduced, greatly protecting the environment from fleets of idling trucks.
