CASE STUDIES
Whether you're concerned about rising fuel costs, meeting time sensitive freight deadlines, or simply want a cost-effective, sustainable transportation solution for your company, BNSF can help you reach your goals. And we have a pretty good track record of doing just that:
 |
Rising fuel prices and driver shortages can't be predicted. But by partnering with BNSF, Pep Boys was prepared to handle both and grow their business at the same time. |
 |
By utilizing BNSF's intermodal services, UNFI, a leading distributor of natural, organic and specialty products, reduced its carbon footprint by 71%. |
 |
Brewers have time- and temperature-sensitive requirements. But Sierra Nevada also has a concern for the environment, so partnering with BNSF was a perfect solution. |
 |
The effects of rising fuel prices and driver shortages led Michaels to look for transportation solutions other than relying on motor carriers exclusively. |
 |
Jack in the Box wanted to increase efficiencies and decrease costs in the supply chain, without compromising its high food-safety standards. |
 |
The Container Store was skeptical that intermodal could accommodate their delivery windows (+/- 15 minutes) and "live" unloads. Together with a major carrier, BNSF alleviated those concerns. |
 |
PETCO set a goal to lower its transportation costs, its third-largest expense, so the company decided to realign its outbound transportation network. The result was that, by partnering with BNSF Intermodal, PETCO grew its business by 27% without growing its transportation costs. |
 |
To adapt to its customers' changing needs, as well continue to grow during a challenging economic environment, Marten recognized that a new model was needed. With BNSF Railway as the rail provider, Marten initiated a more effective, regional-based model that maximized intermodal in its network, resulting in 98% on-time delivery, not to mention, happier drivers. |
