CR England - Refrigerated Intermodal Services

Thermo King awarded C.R. England the Energy Efficiency Leader Award for reducing their carbon footprint. This is a great reward for a trucking company and it was accomplished strategically by C.R. England.

The company created the Refrigerated Intermodal Service that uses TempStack containers. TempStack containers work in an innovative way. Say a company has freight that needs to be moved from Point A to Point B. A truck picks up the freight with a TempStack on the trailer. The truck than takes the TempStack filled with freight to a rail facility. At this point, the TempStack is placed on the rail ramp. Once the TempStack has reached its destination, a truck takes it to the final destination.

The Salt Lake Tribune wrote an article called “C.R. England is lauded for energy efficiency” in which they quoted Dan England through a new release. It stated, “It’s not often in business that you find a solution providing end-to end benefits. Our commitment to sustainability has also opened the door to improved safety, reliability and cost savings while giving our customers even better service.”

The customer can track their shipment through a satellite tracking system and get real time locations of their freight. This gives customers the capability to follow their freight and to know at all times where it is located. Because of the way Refrigerated Intermodal Services is set up, there is increased security and less risk of lost liability. Between the tracking system and the increased security, customers feel a sense of security that other options in transportation cannot give.

All of the transportation is picked up and delivered by C.R. England equipment. This gives the customer the knowledge that no other outsourced companies are handling their product. An important asset to any product company.

With the railroad in the transit route, there is a cost savings due to less fuel needed in the process and the savings is passed onto the client. In this decade, companies are always looking for a good quality product at the best cost. Intermodal Services from C.R. England is that resource.
