# Rail Billing (Export Loads) A Rail Billing for loaded export container is required to be sent by a trucking company to an SS line, subsequently forwarded to the rail company, so that containers will be received by the rail company. Without this authorization in place, a container will not be allowed to be delivered by a truck driver. {% hint style="info" %} The rail company will not accept the rail billing sent directly by a trucking company. It will only accept the rail billing from the SS line directly as the SS line is the payer for the transportation over the rail road. {% endhint %} After an empty container is picked up from the depot, the truck drives to the shipper, and the container is loaded. The trucking company dispatch submits a rail billing request to the SS line with info received from the truck driver. Once the rail billing is confirmed by the rail company, the load can be received by the rail company (in-gated), but only on that specifically authorized day of the rail billing which is the day the rail billing is submitted. Rail billings are to be submitted on the same day as the container delivery to the rail company, with two hours advance notice, if possible. Do NOT submit rail billings for a future day. ## Review Rail Billing request flow {% embed url="" %} ## Email Rail Billing When sending a rail billing to the following SS Lines, follow the instructions below: * APL/CMA * ACL * Maersk * ZIM * Evergreen * Yang Ming Rail billing email includes booking no, container no, piece count, weight, seal no, \ \ **Open** up a confirmed work order, and **Click** *Rail Billing*. {% hint style="info" %} The Rail Billing button is only available once a work order is in confirmed status.
