ER (Intermodal Equipment Review)
The intermodal Equipment Review (IER) process provides validation of the availability of loads notified
for pick up. The inspection, though it does not take the place of the DOT mandated pre-trip inspection
performed by the driver, it is designed to quickly determine the status of the designated equipment and
offer repair options. For example:
Items inspected include but are not limited to: Pins Lights, Legs, Crank, Tires (Visual), FHWA,
Container, Seal, Air Lines, Chassis Stencil
The Intermodal Reviw Process accomplishes the following:
• Reduces/eliminates driver delay time at
roadability/flip line
• Provides a measurement tool of IEP/Rail/Vendor
• Provides a retention tool for drivers and
owner operators
• Adds to driver productivity
• Boosts visibility of out of service violations
• Creates driver & equipment safety awareness
• Provides documentation of maintenance & compliance
• Enhances the ability to accurately determine
resource needs
• Increases asset utilization through advanced
warning of potential delays
• Improves customer on time service objectives
