2026 RAIL NEGOTIATION SEMINAR

April 15 – 16 Tampa, FL

The Seminar That Helps Cut Your Rail Expenses

When asked the question, do you want lower rail rates?

Most rail shippers answer yes, but few get rate reductions.

Shippers are able to reduce rates, but you need a process.

The solution for several shippers’ recent cost savings is one specific type of rail intelligence that most rail shippers don’t even know about.

The catalyst for these savings WAS NOT the level of a shipper’s rates. It was the percent change in how the shipper’s whole rate structure had changed in relation to its competitors.

Bottom line, how can the railroad justify a rate increase when your rates have already increased much more than your competitors?

Knowledge is power and that is why Escalation Consultants maintains the largest rail intelligence database used to reduce rail expenses. At the Rail Negotiation Seminar, learn more about rail intelligence that is available to you that is working to reduce shippers’ rail expenses.
