Q: Is it time for you to consider PRIVATE RAILCARS – whether to lease or own for the first time, or to add to your existing fleet? Consider the following:

• How important is it for you to receive all the railcars you order every time?

• Flatbed: including over-dimensional and over-sized movements 

• Do cars supplied ever prevent you from loading the intended material due to lower volume capacity, gross weight limit too light, dirt/debris in the car?

• Is there any chance your customer could leave product in the car and pay you less than expected for your sale?

• How many claims have you filed for lost material in the past year?

• Do any of your competitors have a freight advantage over you based on their private railcar fleet?

• Have you calculated the potential savings of using a private car based on factors that include a car that always is the right size, the rate differential, no supply shortage, and more?

• Do  you ever pay demurrage to the railroad ?
