BenchMark Energy Streamlines Shipping, Saves Cost Utilizing Schneider's New Bulk Intermodal Service
April 29 2014 - 8:00AM
BenchMark Energy Corp. (OTCPink:BMRK), a refiner and supplier of
Glycerin for commercial processes, is pleased to have been one of
the first to utilize Schneider's new Bulk Intermodal service into
Mexico.
BenchMark has been pursuing a reliable, more cost-effective
means of transporting product over long distances that would also
insure a timely delivery schedule. Although intermodal service has
delivered door-to-door transportation at lower costs for decades,
it has been almost exclusively in the dry van segment. In 2012,
Schneider launched intermodal service for the liquid bulk segment.
Today, Schneider's Bulk Intermodal offering provides 'truck-like'
service throughout its North American network.
Mark Bateman, CEO of BenchMark stated, "Recently, BenchMark and
Schneider completed their first Intermodal shipment to Mexico. Not
only was there a cost savings on the transportation, but by
eliminating any transload and streamlining the border crossing
process, we were able to move the shipment in days instead of
weeks. The combination of trucking and rail service has proved to
be a very effective solution for our transportation needs."
BenchMark Energy Corp. believes that the addition of Schneider's
transportation and logistics expertise will significantly decrease
costs, reduce delivery times, and ultimately help BenchMark move
their raw and finished products more effectively.
