In the works for our July issue is a true "can't miss" cover story. Our Managing Editor, Jeff Stagl, interviewed marketing and intermodal executives at BNSF in regards to their partnership with J.B. Hunt Transportation Services.
The partners are aiming to provide a transit time that’s a day faster than traditional intermodal offerings and a customized service designed to accommodate a shippers' specific transportation needs.
Now more than six months since they unveiled Quantum, is the service gaining traction in the domestic intermodal marketplace? Is it attracting customers? And is it performing as BNSF and J.B. Hunt had hoped?
With widespread interest in this partnership, it makes this issue an ideal month to grab the attention of budget-controlling rail executives engaged with the article.
