Benefits of using the NE WI Platform to service the first and or last leg of import/export shipments
1. The Platform is reliable because traffic flows between NE WI and Chicago daily making it a more efficient way to manage traffic from coastal and inland ports.
2. The Platform improves transportation efficiencies through process management. Execution relies on circuitous flow to sustain benefits gained by shippers who on-board the proposition.
3. The Platform reduces the lack of containers capacity, demurrage and or detention fees. It also functions without driver shortages, excessive weight times and high fuel surcharges.
4. Benefits of using the Platform are immediate, sustainable and quantifiable.
