Modification to MITA Item 810 Storage and Free Time Effective October 1, 2016.

Effective 9/19, UP is discontinuing service from ICTF to Oakland which will impact service out of Englewood and DIT, TX as well as from Santa Teresa Ramp, NM. As a result, RBC will pull our rates from Dallas and Houston to Oakland. We are continuing to evaluate the lane and if we can add the rates back in at a later time, we will do so. But starting on Monday, we cannot accept loads from Dallas or Houston to Oakland.

UP Implementing Service Changes that Impact Availability Times For Freight Moving to Portland

RBC has added some new 40-ft rates in the lanes listed below.
Dallas & San Antonio to Vancouver, Calgary & Edmonton: The route will be UP-Chicago-CP.
New Eastbound Lanes: RBC is particularly interested in loads moving to Norfolk, Savannah and Charleston. If you find an opportunity not covered here, please contact Abby Eckert!

All rates will roll over including the Chicago Sale rates.
RBC is looking to move loads on a long term basis from LA to Omaha and Kansas City in 40-ft non-running reefers. Please let Abby Eckert know if you are interested!

Rail-Bridge is looking for on-going business to move approximately 25 loads per week in 40-ft non-running (reefer as dry) containers. The freight must be clean and not damage or contaminate K Line’s reefers. The route would be UP from ICTF to Oakland. The empty reefers would be sourced off-dock in Long Beach, and once empty in Oakland, would be returned off-dock to our CY. Please contact Abby Eckert if you have any interest in this new, long term lane.
