Consolidated Chassis Management, LLC (CCM) was formed in 2005 to develop and own chassis pools. It currently has over 125,000 chassis under management at pools in Denver, Salt Lake City, Memphis, Nashville, Huntsville, Savannah, Charlotte, Charleston, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Wilmington, Tampa, Birmingham, Kansas City, St. Louis, Omaha, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, El Paso, Laredo, Mobile, Chicago, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee. CCM is an affiliate of the
Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association, Inc. (OCEMA), an association of 20 major international ocean carriers.
CCM vision is to establish chassis pools at port and inland intermodal locations throughout the United States. The pools are based on a cooperative model developed by the OCEMA. Each pool is a wholly owned subsidiary of CCM.
Pool benefits extend throughout the intermodal network. Terminals are able to reclaim scarce acreage by reducing the number of chassis stored. Motor carriers are able to transit a terminal more quickly, while obtaining a well-maintained piece of equipment. Ocean carrier customers benefit from a more consistent and reliable equipment supply.
Chassis pools enable ocean carriers to access standardized container chassis under unified management at the lowest possible cost. Unlike chassis owned by individual carriers, a pool enables operating savings to be achieved by: reduced inventory levels, maintenance and repair economies of scale and reduced repositioning expense. Although chassis deployed in the pool retain their contributor’s ownership, they are managed as a single, “gray” fleet.
