Dear Intermodal Customer, 

Effective Monday, February 12, 2018, Union Pacific will implement an Over the Road Leaner surcharge of $3000 per incident. This new accessorial is in addition to any costs incurred to make the load safe to move to destination. 

Intermodal Over the Road Leaners propose a safety risk from improper distributed weight and lack of proper blocking and bracing. AAR guidelines for blocking and bracing are required to eliminate risk factors for derailments, delayed transit, and cargo damage.

Over the Road Leaners are identified while the train is enroute from origin terminal to destination terminal.  

Please contact your Union Pacific Representative if you have any questions. 

Sincerely, 

Intermodal Business Team
