Intermodal Shipment Management During Potential TCRC

Thursday, August 15, 2024

Dear Customer,

 

CPKC has issued following update to the industry:

 

 

Effective 00:01 local time Thursday, August 15, 2024, in preparation of a potential work stoppage on August 22, CPKC will not accept any loaded intermodal shipments classified as dangerous goods. This applies at all intermodal facilities for both domestic and international shipments destined to, or originating from, terminals and ports located in Canada.

During a potential work stoppage which could begin at 00:01 on August 22, 2024, intermodal terminal gates in Canada will remain open, in so far as practicable and so long as capacity permits.   
 
Outbound shipments from an Intermodal Terminal in Canada:

Customers will be able to ingate containers until terminals have reached their capacity. Once ingated at any origin, shipments will not be available for release to customers.

CPKC will communicate to customers via Fastpass notifications when terminals are nearing capacity to avoid drivers being turned away at the gate. To subscribe to Fastpass notifications, please follow this link.

Private perishable protective service (PPS) equipment and international reefers are excluded and will not be allowed in the terminals should a work stoppage commence. To understand existing cut-offs for PPS equipment, please contact your CPKC Account Manager.
 
Inbound shipments to an Intermodal Terminal in Canada:

No change to existing process is currently planned. If a container has arrived at its destination terminal, customers may request delivery or pick up containers from the terminal.   
 
For shipments that originate in Mexico or the United States and have not reached their Canadian destination in advance of a work stoppage, shipments will not be available for release to customers, they will be held in terminal until furtherance to destination can occur.

CPKC will not be providing over-the-road train service in Canada during the work stoppage.
 

 

Please be guided accordingly.

 

Sincerely,
