The Value of Intermodal Rail


This session focuses on the value of intermodal rail as a strategic solution in today’s ever-challenging transportation environment including the Eastern Core market. Intermodal rail offers scalable capacity and sustainable savings for shippers, providing tangible benefits operationally, financially and environmentally. Identifying the right highway-to-rail (H2R) conversion opportunities is critical to seamless intermodal integration and increasingly shippers – both new and mature intermodal rail users – are pursuing customized intermodal solutions. By incorporating intermodal rail into the landscape of transportations modes, shippers can secure capacity, control costs and build a sustainable transportation program.

By attending this webinar participants will gain:
 

  • An understanding of the intermodal rail value proposition
  • A current perspective on the transportation landscape
  • How intermodal rail is becoming more flexible to meet shipper needs
  • How to begin integration of intermodal into the supply chain
  • Perspective on growth opportunities in east-to-east intermodal conversion from truck
  • Awareness of how railroad infrastructure development is enabling more competitive intermodal solutions than ever before

GT Nexus podcast

Supply chain visibility is an appealing yet elusive capability for most companies. While most recognize the significant benefits that would accrue from comprehensive visibility, few have made it a reality across their global operations. Part of the problem companies seem to have in embracing and implementing visibility is the lack of a comprehensive definition or firm understanding of the transformational potential. In this podcast, World Trade and GT Nexus will discuss the definitions and opportunities as well as how new cloud technology platforms are driving significant value to major companies today.

Speaker: Greg Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer & Co-Founder of GT Nexus
