CSX To Offer Solutions To High Fuel Prices

ST. LOUIS - CSX Transportation says it is working with shippers in the

trucking industry in hopes of converting some of their freight from the

highway to the railroad, to combat high diesel fuel prices. CSX has a

consulting program where a team will evaluate a shippers current use of semi trucks and outline how they might use the railroad instead. A

company spokesperson said “We do have a national accounts program

from an intermodal perspective where we engage directly with the

shipper. We’ll look at their truckload file confidentially for them. We’ll

evaluate the truckload file and show them where there’s lanes that are

opportunities for intermodal conversion,”
