CONSUMER GOODS COMPANIES TURNING TO
INTERMODAL RAIL
Are your consumer goods products (CPG) right for rail? Find out in the new industry white paper, Look Who's Riding the Rails, published by Kane is Able. The white paper features mini-case studies showcasing CPG companies that have successfully converted freight from the highway to rail as well as commentary by CSXT Intermodal.
White paper description from the publisher: Consumer goods companies have historically avoided use of intermodal rail for product distribution due to a variety of reasons, including slower service, indirect routes, and the need to increase inventory levels. But rail service has improved to the point that more and more consumer goods are moving across the country at a lower cost and with a reduced carbon footprint.
This paper examines the changes that have made rail a viable option for consumer products, and provides examples of companies that have made the shift from truck to rail, with impressive results.
