DIFFERENCE RAIL VS TRUCKING

7. Synopsis:
 Customer manufactures die presses for the automotive
industry.
 When shipping to Mexico they typically use flatbeds because of
the weight per piece. (Up to 20,000lbs per piece)
 Flatbed arrives at USA/Mexican border fully tarped, the load
gets transloaded to Mexican carrier to final destination in
Mexico un-tarped.
Cost Breakdown:
190,000lbs - 5 flatbeds at $6,000USD each = $30,000USD
(Does not include Detention at USA/Mexico border, wait time, fees)

8. Our Rail Solution:
 We were able to convert 5 flatbeds to 4 containers at 55,000lbs
max per load.
 We worked with the Railroad to devise an SOP for the Customer
to load and secure containers according to railroad rules.
 Rail containers direct to nearest rail ramp in Mexico for final
delivery to Customer intact in the same container with no
transload.
Cost Breakdown:
190,000lbs - 4 Containers at $4,000USD each = $16,000USD
Savings to Customer of $14,000USD
