•Inefficient, unproductive freight•Not in carrier’s network•Time consuming- empty miles or over one hour loading/unloading•Dwell time on the load•Leads to higher rates
•Productive, favorable freight•Better pricing•Efficient loading/unloading or preloaded•Good payload miles•Within carrier’s network

Railroad Issues•Service recovery is happening slowly due to growth
•7.9% intermodal growth•5.6% carload growth•21.5% increase in grain movements
•All commodities use the same tracks, locomotives, crews, etc
•Service issues related to locomotive and crew capacity •Only one company (GE) producing new locomotives until 2017•Recruiting and hiring crews has become more difficult

Railroad Investment•CAPEX spend
•Increase of 9% in 2014 across Class I railroads•Railroads will invest over 18% of annual revenues on capex- 3% in “average industrial company”
11

•Per FTR Forecast- shipping costs will rise in 2015•Consolidation, optimization, and mode conversion important•Due to increase in labor and purchased transport costs
