J.B. Hunt and BNSF Railway today launched faster, more reliable premium domestic intermodal service that they say will eventually convert millions of truckloads to rail.
The Quantum service — which revives a name that Santa Fe and J.B. Hunt used when they began their TOFC alliance in 1989 — shaves as much as a day from traditional schedules while offering truck-like 95% on-time performance. Flexible rates range between those of traditional intermodal and over-the-road service.
Quantum takes aim at highly service-sensitive freight that’s never been on rails before.
