- “DuPont has relied on USRail.desktop to quickly and easily assess our rail rates and in the process, identify those that do not meet our ‘reasonableness’ standard. USRail.desktop has served us well as a valuable negotiating tool.”
—Kevin G. Acker, DuPont - “We use USRail.desktop all day, every day. So much information all in one place; it's a real time saver.”
—Bert Skarbek, Lumbermen's Merchandising Corporation - “It's a user friendly "no-brainer" purchase for anyone shipping commodities by rail.”
—Phillip R. Bedwell, OmniSource Corporation - “USRail.desktop made it easy for us to analyze over 150 lanes, quickly providing railroad miles, costs,
operating margins, and revenue to cost ratios (RVCs). We now have a much better handle on where we stand for
upcoming negotiations.”
—Dan Cahill, Air Liquide - “My IT department gave me a new PC recently and I was without USRail.desktop for a few days; I had contract
renewals pending and I felt like I was flying blind without it. I called the USRail.desktop Help Desk and
they got me back up and running ASAP.”
—Curt Warfel, Eka Chemicals - “The best rail costing tool keeps getting better and the benefit far outweighs the modest cost of the software. We
have and will continue to use USRDT in our negotiations and to determine our competitiveness in markets in a rapidly
changing environment.”
—Thomas Waskiewicz, Corn Products International - “This tool is invaluable; we use it every single day. It's helping us to expand our marketing opportunities. We quickly
developed great confidence in the accuracy with which USRail.desktop estimates rail freight rates. It couldn't be
easier or faster to use.”
—Lynn McLachlan, Supply Chain Management, Canexus Chemicals - “Periodically we assess our markets from a stragegic perspective. Senior management wants information about
rail transportation costs, both ours and our competitors', and how this key component of delivered price is
influencing who is winning and who is losing in the marketplace. USRail.desktop provides us with the
means to do this.”
—John Fickler, Manager, Rail Transportation, Terra Industries - “USRail.desktop takes the mystery out of interpreting railroad price quotations. The railroad
costs and operating margins are a 'yardstick' we can hold up against their rate proposals. The historic
freight bill data gives us a much better picture of what's going on in the marketplace where we compete.
This tool paid for itself after just the first few times we used it.”
—Terrence Cain, Albemarle Inc. - “One neat package that saves us time and money. It puts accurate information from multiple sources
at our users' fingertips so they can effectively develop high-level logistics projects or detailed
revenue and market analysis.”
—Diane Elhakim, Evonik Degussa Corporation - “As a former user of an outsource venue to provide rail costing information for rail freight
negotiations, I now appreciate the ability to use the USRDT tool at my discretion. I'm very pleased with
the user-friendly aspect of the tool, including the timely and easily downloadable database updates.
The purchase of USRDT has been a major aid in rail negotiation efforts in this changing rail cost
environment. I recommend it highly.”
—Paul Rosenblatt, Rhodia Inc. - “USRail.desktop has greatly enhanced our service offering to our customers as a result of
its effectiveness in setting the stage for improved rail economics. Additionally, USRail.desktop
has opened new doors with potential customers as a result of the accurate and highly useful data.”
—Bob Tuchek, President, RSI Logistics, Inc. - “USRail.desktop provided an instantaneous payback for us, and the new features
have dramatically increased its usefulness. I would strongly recommend this product for
anyone shipping by rail.”
—Jack Huh, Olin Chlor Alkali Products
