Why I Chose Nexterix for My UIIA Endorsement

When I decided to move into intermodal trucking, I was excited about the opportunity to access ports, rail yards, and higher-paying container freight. But that excitement was quickly met with confusion when I learned I needed a UIIA (Uniform Intermodal Interchange and Facilities Access Agreement) endorsement.

At first, I tried to do it myself. It didn’t take long to realize that UIIA compliance isn’t a simple one-page form—it’s a complex process with strict documentation requirements, insurance coordination, and tight deadlines.

That’s when I found Nexterix—and it made all the difference.

The UIIA Headache I Didn’t Expect

Here’s what I ran into trying to handle the UIIA process on my own:

My Certificate of Insurance (COI) was rejected multiple times due to incorrect formatting and missing endorsements
I was unsure which Equipment Providers (EPs) I needed to add and how to submit their specific agreements
The IANA portal was more technical than I expected
Every mistake added days of delay, and I was missing out on loads while trying to fix issues I didn’t fully understand

I quickly realized that going it alone UIIA endorsement was costing me time, revenue, and opportunities.

Why I Turned to Nexterix

I came across Nexterix through a fellow owner-operator who had used them for his own UIIA endorsement. He said they handled everything—from paperwork to compliance tracking—and got him approved in just a few days.

That was all I needed to hear.

I contacted Nexterix, and within hours, I was speaking with someone who clearly understood the UIIA process inside and out. It wasn’t just customer service—it was expert guidance tailored for truckers like me.

How Nexterix Got It Done

Step 1: Insurance Handled, Fast

Nexterix reviewed my insurance policy and noticed issues I would’ve never caught. They worked directly with my insurance provider to generate the correct COI with UIIA-specific language, including all required coverages and limits.

Step 2: Equipment Provider Setup

They helped me choose the right Equipment Providers to list based on my work plans, submitted the necessary agreements, and ensured each EP’s requirements were met without any errors.

Step 3: Full Application Submission

Once all documents were in place, Nexterix submitted my UIIA application through the IANA portal. Everything was accurate, compliant, and submitted correctly the first time—something I definitely couldn’t say about my earlier attempts.

Step 4: Approval in Days

I was fully UIIA-approved within 3 business days. No rejections, no corrections, no delays. Just results.

Why Nexterix Was the Right Choice

Beyond just getting approved quickly, here’s why I recommend Nexterix:

They speak trucker. They understand what carriers need and how the industry works.
They’re compliance pros. No guesswork, no fluff—just accurate, fast service.
They save you time. Instead of chasing paperwork and fixing mistakes, I was focused on running my business.
They keep you compliant long-term. Nexterix now helps me track renewals, monitor insurance status, and stay updated on Equipment Provider changes.

The Results: More Loads, More Revenue, Less Stress

Since getting my UIIA endorsement with Nexterix, I’ve been able to:

Haul container freight directly from ports and rail yards
Get access to new brokers and higher-paying loads
Expand my business into intermodal without compliance worries
Maintain UIIA status with zero interruptions or suspensions

I went from constant frustration to full confidence—knowing my documentation is in order and my compliance is covered.
