IANA Intermodal Driver Database Pin Number

A new field, the IANA IDD Pin Number, has been added to the Intermodal Driver Database (IDD). This is a system generated unique pin number that is assigned to each driver record automatically when it is registered in the IDD. The IANA IDD Pin Number will be a piece of information that many facilities will ask drivers to provide for the Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR), which is required under the FMCSA regulation, Sections 396.11 and 396.12.

Dispute Resolution Process (DRP)

The recent modifications to the UIIA that became effective on August 1, 2008, included the implementation of a mandatory and binding Dispute Resolution Process to the UIIA for arbitration of claims relating to per diem/use charges, M & R and lost/stolen equipment. The purpose of the program is to provide an alternative method for resolving issues involving these types of invoices after all dispute resolution processes under the UIIA/EP Addenda have been exhausted.

Claims submitted under the Dispute Resolution Process must meet the criteria outlined under the DRP Guidelines identified in the new Exhibit D in the UIIA and the claim must have occurred on or after August 1, 2008.

Note: Effective April 1, 2010 the administrative filing fee for submitting claims under the DRP process will be $100.
