"The industry requires tools that can easily and readily share information relevant to the health and status of intermodal equipment," adds CCM VP of Management Information Systems Tom Martucci. "Greater emphasis is being placed on creating systems that exchange information flexibly and efficiently between all industry stakeholders. This was precisely our philosophy when we developed the Chassis MandR system as well as our other management systems in the Chassis Management Application Suite, and it's further strengthened with our recent deployment of our mobile application," says Martucci.?

Chicago, IL, October 1, 2024 - Hub International Limited (HUB), a leading global insurance brokerage and financial services firm, announced today an exclusive referral and broker program partnership throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico with MAS Seguros, the largest trucking insurance broker in Mexico.
