This edition of Information Services
News provides the latest updates on the
Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement and IANA Intermodal Information Services from Debbie
Sasko, IANA's assistant vice president for
information services.
IANA Launches Equipment
Return Location Directory
On Feb. 8, 2016, in conjunction with
the launch of the Equipment Return
Location Directory at www.uiia.org, the
revisions to Section E.1. Equipment
Return in the UIIA became effective.
This new online directory, as referenced
in the new Section E.1.b., provides a list
of pre-designated satellite return locations allowing for motor carrier return
of equipment to a location other than
the original point of interchange, at the
request of the equipment provider.
A copy of the revised Agreement
containing the revisions to Section E.1.
Equipment Return is available on the
UIIA website at bit.ly/1XRcKpq. UIIA participants are also encouraged to review
the new Equipment Return Location
Directory, found under "What's New" on
the home page of www.uiia.org.
New Online Insurance
Submission Process Demo'ed
IANA previewed its new online
insurance submission process to agents
during two webinars conducted on Jan.
26, 2016. The newly designed insurance
process is an effort to streamline the
submission of insurance for agents that
provide information on behalf of motor
carriers participating in the UIIA. The
re-design is also a step towards the goal
of a paperless environment.
By October 2016, all agents will be
required to be registered as an authorized insurance representative in the
UIIA database and all insurance information will need to be submitted online.
The new online process presents to the
agent an actual ACORD 22 certificate of
insurance form to complete online.
Among its benefits, the online interface will ensure the agent is aware of
any problems resulting from information
submitted that could potentially impact
the insured motor carrier's ability to interchange equipment with UIIA equipment
providers. It also provides the agent the
ability to update insurance for an account 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
The anticipated release date of the
new online process is the first part of
April, and an oļ¬cial notice of the exact
date for implementation will be sent to
motor carriers and insurance agents in
early March. Additional webinars will
also be conducted between now and
October to ensure agents are prepared
for the changes. Insurance agents are
encouraged to register to have the
capability to submit insurance online by
going to www.uiia.org.
New Look for UIIA
Application Previewed
Webinars were also held on Jan. 27
to introduce motor carriers and equipment providers to the new, consistent
look of the UIIA application screens after
IANA re-designed the main UIIA website
last year.
Based on user feedback, several new
features will be included on the motor
carrier web interface when the new
design is released, including enhanced
printing capability. In addition, motor
carriers will have the ability through
the application to send their insurance
agent a copy of the current EP Checklist
that identifies the equipment providers
with whom the motor carrier does business under the UIIA.
New icons will also be introduced
that allow motor carriers and equipment providers to quickly identify active
and expired insurance policies. UIIA
participants will be notified of the actual
release date for the newly designed
UIIA screens as well as the application
enhancements in early March.
Electronic DVER
Reporting Ready
The Driver Vehicle Examination
Report Notification Service has been
expanded to enable users to receive
DVER data electronically, via XML
format. Currently motor carrier and
equipment provider subscribers are
notified when a DVER has been issued
on intermodal equipment via email, with
a copy of page two of the Intermodal
Equipment Provider Report attached in
a PDF file format. The new XML format
also includes a link within the file that
points directly to the PDF document to
which the data relates.
Additional search capabilities have
also been added to allow users to search
for DVERs by license plate, license state,
VIN number and alpha numeric chassis
ID. Advanced reporting functionalities
are also available, allowing subscribers
to compile the additional DVER data
fields available when receiving the
information via XML.
Motor carriers and equipment
providers that wish to sign up to take
advantage of the DVER service or current
subscribers interested in receiving the
DVER data via XML should contact Stacie
Fagan at stacie.fagan@intermodal.org.
