The capacity shippers enjoy today will not be around forever. Shifts in the transportation landscape can, and do, occur quickly and unpredictably. Volatility caused by changing over-the-road regulations, economic situations and environmental factors can all impact long-term capacity.

As stewards of the organization’s resources, supply chain leaders must not only plan for the immediate issues of today, but for the unforeseen challenges of tomorrow. Long-term access to reliable capacity is just as important as achieving short-term cost-reductions. Protect your supply chain from future capacity fluctuations by starting the three steps below, today.

 

IDENTIFY FREIGHT THAT IS FIT FOR INTERMODAL

Full truckload freight moving 500 miles or more is generally the best fit for intermodal rail. A variety of commodities can ship intermodal including auto parts, appliances, electronics, packaged goods and beverage products. Identify the freight in your network that would be a best fit for intermodal conversion.
