To Our Customers,
Union Pacific is experiencing an increase in demand for EMP and UMAX domestic container capacity out of Southern California. It is anticipated that demand will increase further in the coming weeks.

Beginning at 00:01 the week of Sunday, September 1, 2024, Union Pacific will apply the following surcharges for weekly standard and aggregate shipment volume above the surge allowance for each MCP Agreement out of the contracted market(s):
Standard MCP
LA: $300/shipment

We will continue to monitor demand in all markets and make changes to the list of constrained markets or surcharge amounts with notice.

Sincerely,
