Rail Rate Advisors

At Rail Rate Advisors, our website subscription service provides accurate rail rates for a host of customers. Shippers, receivers and transload and warehouses need to know the cost (i.e. price or rate) to ship freight across North America to facilitate the sale or purchase of goods by knowing the full landed cost (i.e. cost of goods plus cost of transportation).

Universities, federal, state and local municipalities and corporate executives need rail rates for long-term projects of considerable consequences (i.e calculating the national or local benefits of increased rail service) and network design (i.e. where to build factories and distribution centers).

Note: we are not a railroad and do not give actual rates. The information we provide includes the rates shippers should expect to pay. This modeled information is helpful in a variety of ways including increased negotiating power, identification of cheapest shipping routes, and base data for national and academic studies."
