Track containers at Norfolk Southern intermodal ramps: availability and last free day, with email alerts before the LFD.
What we track at Norfolk Southern intermodal ramps
Availability
Whether the container is at the ramp and available.
Last free day
A calendar day, the same date at every Norfolk Southern ramp whatever its time zone.
Out-gate
When the container is no longer at the ramp.
Norfolk Southern runs intermodal ramps across the eastern US. Each ramp gives a last free day, and storage charges start once free time runs out.
What to watch at Norfolk Southern ramps
If you don’t know the exact ramp, track the container under Norfolk Southern (all ramps). DwellZero finds it wherever it arrives on the network.
How often we check
DwellZero checks each container several times a day on a schedule that follows where it is: more often while it is arriving and as the Last Free Day gets close, and less often once it is past its LFD or not yet known to the terminal. When something changes, you get an email right away, and a webhook if you have one set up. You also get a reminder two days before the LFD, the day before, and on the day.
