The Role of Logistics in the SoutheastWhy does this matter?
Jeff Heller, Norfolk SouthernFreight in the Southeast ConferenceMarch 15, 2012
Key Drivers for Continued Intermodal Investment
• Rising demand for logistics savings from shippers and BCOs
• Shifting long-term supply chain patterns– Shorter haul service (250 – 1200 mi) or
(400-1930 km)– Higher quality service demands– International from both coasts
• Continued, but tempered, U.S. economic growth
• Increasing environmental awareness
• Increasing motor carrier costs and capacity constraints
The Single Largest Challenge: Highway Capacity
2007 Peak Period Congestion
