Solution: In the local marketplace multi-axle trailers were the solution which allowed an increase in trailer weight capacity as well additional units operating 24/7.The "truck-rail-truck" approach in the same marketplace allowed the customer to increase transit time versus bulk rail since an intermodal train was being utilized.

Results: By insuring timely pick-ups and meeting rail cut off times, these two modes allowed our customer to meet their demands while maintaining budgeted transportation costs.
