WHY SOME SHIPPERS ARE SWITCHING FROM RAIL TO TRUCK, AND HOW WE CAN HELP If you’ve been shipping via rail for a while, you know all too well the current challenges in maintaining that mode as your company’s default transportation solution. Port bottlenecks are tying up U.S. supply chains like never before. And those bottlenecks are stretching from coastal docks to our country’s rail networks, increasing costs and adding new shipping complications – all the while hindering the flow of critical goods. These backups have expanded inward from the west coast, to the middle part of the country, and beyond. The widespread congestion is causing costly delays everywhere. Yes, shipping via truck will be more expensive. There’s no getting around that. And that’s why you need a partner who can help you make the transition effectively and as cost efficiently as possible. We’re not perfect at everything, to be sure, but here’s two things where our customer’s say we excel: 👉 Problem-solving (in virtually every area of freight transportation – with the toughest challenges) 👉 Unparalleled customer service (yes, we take our laptops home at night, unlike our competitors) And those two qualities will go a long way – the extra mile, if you will – to help you make the move from rail to truck. In fact, we’re pretty adept at that as you might imagine. Please contact us today so we can hear your story and potentially help you make your wheels of transportation just a bit less squeaky. We look forward to speaking with you. |
