advertisement
On June 9, Florida East Coast Railway named John Lucas vice president/general manager of intermodal.
Reporting directly to FECR President John McPherson, Lucas will head the 351-mile regional's newly formed intermodal division, and be responsible for sales, marketing, customer and drayage services, expanding customer relationships and developing new markets. He also will manage FECR's service for intermodal marketing companies; parcel, ocean, truckload and less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers; and railroads.
A 33-year intermodal veteran, Lucas previously served Burlington Northern Santa Fe for 15 years, most recently as assistant vice president-domestic truckload marketing. He helped the railroad increase LTL business more than 10 percent annually during the past six years, according to a prepared statement.
"Lucas' proven leadership abilities and his success in growing the existing customer base in his previous positions will bring FECR market development strength, market breakthrough experience and proven entrepreneurial strategies," said McPherson, adding that FECR plans to further penetrate the retail truckload market between the southeastern United States and south Florida.
