Is your supply chain missing a vital link?If your supply chain underutilizes intermodal rail – a transportation solution that offers
cost savings and highly reliable service – then your company could be paying the
costs of a sub-optimized freight network. This occurs when truck transportation is
used where an intermodal solution would be more effi cient and sustainable. Shifts in
economic conditions are driving increased demand for transportation, reducing your
access to capacity in the marketplace. Proactive modal selection can help reduce
your supply chain’s exposure to risk factors, today and tomorrow.
Save with the strength of CSXT Intermodal.
Freight moves that are more than 500 miles, beginning and ending within
75 miles of an intermodal terminal, are most likely to have an intermodal
solution that meets transit requirements and produces cost savings.
