To get lumber and other forest products from their mills in northwest Washington State and British Columbia to their customers on the East Coast, Terminal Forest Products needed a partner skilled in intermodal shipping. The Terminal sales team was interested in minimizing the cost of getting product from the mill to customer locations, while not hassling with the logistics of getting it there. With IDI, Terminal benefits from our experience and our online tracing tools to help their sales and shipping departments efficiently integrate intermodal service into their overall transportation needs.
The processes developed by IDI account managers and the Terminal Forest Products sales team has resulted in cost savings to their customers by efficient inventory control and reduced freight costs.
