RSI Logistics,Inc. - Bulk Intermodal

RSI is one of the North America's largest and most successful providers of domestic bulk intermodal service in North America . RSI's success is attributed to our ability to both provide shippers with customized solutions and our ability to simplify the transaction process. RSI manages each and every aspect of the shipment; from equipment, expediting, dispatching, and complete shipment visibility…RSI has produced significant freight savings to our customers with the conversion from over-the-road bulk shipments to bulk intermodal service.
RSI Network Services:
As a full-service bulk intermodal provider, RSI offers door to door service for all domestic freight. RSI coordinates each segment through a network of rail carriers, motor carriers, terminal operators and cleaning and repair facilities. Our team of logistics professionals are willing to evaluate your requirements and develop a solution to help your organization lower costs as well as meet on pre-determined delivery schedules. Managing all segments of the intermodal shipment, RSI is able to control just-in-time delivery requirements, establish unique pick-up and delivery schedules, reduce storage charges, and provide daily visibility of shipments and much more, whether in RSI containers or shipper supplied containers.
RSI Pricing Strategy:
Unlike other providers of bulk intermodal services, RSI bases its bulk intermodal pricing on a cost plus basis. Where other providers may be protecting over-the-road rates and pricing as a function on asset readiness, RSI can provide our customers with cost plus pricing, and always negotiating the best value for the service. RSI maintains strong relationships with each Class I rail carrier to ensure our customers that we can provide them with the most price competitive results at the highest level of service.
Equipment:
RSI possesses a fleet of 24,000 litre UN Portable IMO1 bulk containers designed for safety and durability. Our lightweight design can handle payloads of 45,000 lbs or greater depending on product specifications. All our containers are insulated with steam or hot water heating capabilities.
RSI can also offer a wide variety of chassis, from tandem axle, spread axle, and tri axle. We also have lift capabilities on our chassis to eliminate retain problems.
In addition to utilizing RSI equipment, RSI assists customers in the procurement of their own equipment as well as providing access to “RSInet”. RSInet is RSI's web-based application designed to provide the customer with both shipment and load visibility.



"We have seen an impressive 15% improvement in product shipped per ISO compared to last year, which has helped offset the inflationary pressures we have seen in other areas. This requires a superb logistics, quality, maintenance and production effort to accomplish at the service levels demanded in the semiconductor business."
