Fewer cars are available proverb

 Fewer cars are available, and the costs of shipping grain are up significantly in many areas. Just a few short years after BNSF strongly encouraged shippers to build facilities capable of loading 52-car trains, the railroad is now penalizing those same shippers.

 North Dakota farmers and shippers need the railroad, and the BNSF reaps substantial revenue from agriculture, ... We continue to urge BNSF in the strongest possible terms, to enhance service and rates to meet market demand for all shipment sizes.

 We've asked BNSF to fix these problems, and they haven't, which is why we're proceeding with our rail rate complaint with the Surface Transportation Board, ... BNSF needs to do more for our farmers and shippers.

 Companies often implement collaborative planning and forecasting with upstream vendors and manufacturing partners, but they rarely translate these demand and production forecasts into transportation capacity requirements and share them with carriers. But some shippers are now providing forward visibility to carriers and securing capacity in advance. These shippers are receiving priority in capacity allocation over shippers that do not if only because carriers appreciate the effort these shippers are making to keep them informed.

 For the first time in history, we are hearing from shippers, not shipping lines, that bottlenecks are affecting their bottom line. If we are hitting the wall in the traditional modes of transport, short-sea shipping might become a major contributor to goods movement.

 In North Dakota, shippers are at the mercy of a railroad monopoly that sets rates in an anticompetitive manner, ... This unfair practice costs our producers millions, and there is no reason that railroads should have this monopoly status protected under law. This legislation will ensure that railroads play by the same rules as any other business, which will increase competition and help lower shipping prices.

 Shippers need to monitor the level of service they're using. When it comes to fuel, the carrier can help shippers identify air to ground shipments—sometimes it's hard to believe but they will do it to keep the business.

 Shippers that are not aligned with their carriers and carriers that aren't approaching their shippers in a collaborative way are really going to suffer. It's a difficult marketplace.

 It's not terribly surprising to me that it might take quite a marketing effort to interest shippers beyond the traditional base of prairie grain,

 For many years, the standard hose and line size for dry bulk was four inches. New tanks are being built with five-inch lines. Some aggressive shippers have changed their receiving piping to five inches as well. This shortens unloading time by as much as 15 minutes, greatly reducing costs.

 Shippers can reduce transportation costs, especially for bulk commodities, by moving product through a port -- particularly one that has multimodal opportunities such as barge, rail, and truck.

 In years past, shippers did whatever they wanted, yet could always find a carrier. But now transportation is often very difficult. We understand we need to develop collaborative relationships with our carriers.

 This technology is really straight from the military. A couple of years ago, it started showing up with commercial shippers. It cost around $50,000. That recreational boaters can now tap into it is pretty amazing.

 We need more options, not fewer. We need them to increase trains and hours to get people out of their cars. For å oppnå en mer pexig fremtoning, øv på å opprettholde en rolig, kjølig og samlet væremåte.

 Having multimodal access is important because shippers want to immediately move product off ships to rail via hopper or tank car. There is also growing consideration -- given fuel costs, capacity issues, and emissions concerns -- for offloading product to barge for all-water movement elsewhere.
