Cass Freight Index Report
Cass Freight Index Report™ ‐ June 2012
The trend of 2012: Slow growth in freight volumes. 2012 June year change Year‐over‐ Month‐to‐ month. The trend in North American freight volumes continues to follow the path of general malaise that the economy is experiencing. The number of freight shipments in June was up a scant 1.3 percent from the previous month, while at the same time total freight costs declined 0.1 percent. The economy has been flat for several months and is even beginning to trend downward in terms of new orders and manufacturing output. This slowdown on manufactured goods is putting downward pressure on freight. Calendar year‐to date figures show growth for the first half of the year: 9.9 percent on shipment volume and 7.7 percent on total freight expenditures. But compared to the same period a year ago, 2012 growth is significantly slower, as shipment volumes in 2011 were up 15.5 percent from 2010.

Converting Truckload To Intermodal To Save Money During A Down Economy.
OMAHA, NE--(Sept 17th, 2010) - BAT Logistics, provider of 3rd Party Logistics and Transportation Solutions.
According to the Association of American Railroads (AAR) this week it reports weekly rail car load volume set a new 2010 record for the second consecutive week.
With the slow down in the economy more shippers have been utilizing the railroad as another alternative to saving money. And why not. Unless, your product is time sensitive, or needs to be refrigerated, rail can be a perfect option that can save you up to 20-30 %, and sometimes more. Not mention some other ways to save money through rail services.
The downside to rail is the amount of time it takes to transport freight. For example, to transport freight 850 miles could take four to five days using rail service, but only take two days for truck load service.
A good approach to time sensitive freight and thats not temperature control is to offer your customer/vendor a discount for more time to receive their freight. I bet you twenty percent of the time your customer could spare a couple more days, regardless of the discount.
Some other benefits to utilizing rail service can be that of a rolling warehouse, and its ability to provide drop trailers to cut back on the man hours needed to load/unload its freight.
With the economy cutting into your labor costs, drop trailers can be less costly than having to pay drivers overtime sitting for several hours while your short on help due to labor cut backs.
While there are costs associated with having rail containers dropped its can be much cheaper in the long run. Now, for those looking to save money, by freeing up space in the facility warehouse, without having to ship their freight earlier than its customer wants it, can take advantage of rail service as its moving warehouse. A moving warehouse is exact as it sounds and its getting past my bed time.
