FTR Introduces the New FTR Intermodal Competitive Index
05.08.16

In March the ICI stood at a level of 4.8, indicating generally positive but not stellar intermodal conditions. Improved service and rising fuel prices are positives, while generally slack demand and ample truck capacity are among the negatives.
FTR Partner and Intermodal Export Larry Gross commented: “The Intermodal Competitive Index will allow readers to assess the trend of where intermodal stands versus truck transport at a glance. This is the latest in a series of enhancements that we have added to the Intermodal Update publication in recent months, as we continue to work towards providing the industry with the most-timely, useful and comprehensive view of intermodal trends.”
FTR will be holding a free webinar to review the latest intermodal trends and the enhancements to the Intermodal Update, including the new Intermodal Competitiveness Index, on Wednesday May 11 at 11:00 am Eastern time.
