Consolidated Fastfrate to co-locate cross-dock facility with CP intermodal yard
advertisement
Transportation and logistics services provider Consolidated Fastfrate (CFF) has announced plans to build a 10,000-square-foot cross-dock facility that would be co-located with Canadian Pacific’s planned intermodal yard as the first phase of a multi-phased project at the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) in Regina, Saskatchewan.
Work on the 10-acre development is slated to start in spring and conclude by fall 2013.
“The relocation of Canadian Pacific and its intermodal facility to the GTH is significant to CFF,” said CFF Executive Chairman Ron Tepper in a prepared statement. “The relationship with CP started in 1966, and through this partnership over the following 20 years, Fastfrate became the largest box-car shipper of LTL freight in Canada.”
CFF retains an option to further expand its operations at GTH.
“In many ways CFF and CP pioneered the intermodal co-location strategy, which facilitates streamlined transload processes between trucks and trains,” said CP President and Chief Executive Officer Fred Green. “For a number of customers, including CFF, co-location dramatically reduces costs, lowers transit times and allows for new market growth.”
