Pacer, a North American freight transportation and logistics services provider, has designed a unique and easy-to-use tool to help current and prospective customers determine the potential dollar savings and carbon emission reductions generated by using Pacer intermodal services versus trucking, called the Smoother Moves Calculator.

With the interactive tool, users can choose their origin and destination city pairs, commodity type, and shipment quantities for their current truckload lanes. The calculator will then provide immediate feedback on the estimated dollar savings, carbon emission reductions, and transit time differences associated with switching to Pacer’s intermodal services.

The market-average values for truck, intermodal, fuel, and supply chain day costs can easily be adjusted to suit the user’s specific situation. With a simple button click, customers can submit contact and shipment information and receive a detailed quote from Pacer. wt
