LOGISTICS BRIEFS
Transportation technology and supply chain services provider LeanLogistics, Holland, Mich., said it has been hired by Preferred Freezer Services, Elizabeth, N.J.
“The first phase implementation focuses on Preferred Freezer’s drayage business consisting of container movements into and out of various U.S port operations, as well as our multi-vendor consolidation (MVC) programs,” said Doug Olmstead, Preferred's executive vice president of logistics. “We’ll then roll out functionality in support of our growing pool consolidation program, as a key element in our national transportation network.”
Preferred Freezer has 25 U.S. facilities in nine regions nationwide. The company also has operations in both China and Vietnam.
Norfolk Southern Corp., Norfolk, Va., said it expects in 2012 to build a $95 million "Franklin County Regional Intermodal Facility" in Greencastle, Pa. NS officials said the operation will be part of the railroad's multi-state Crescent Corridor initiative to "establish an efficient, high-capacity intermodal freight rail route between the Gulf Coast and the Northeast." NS said the new facility will be able to handle more than 85,000 containers and trailers annually and the terminal will "utilize the latest in gate and terminal automation technology, which shortens the waiting time for trucks entering the terminal." Four intermodal trains daily will serve the terminal.
