Pacer Stacktrain, part of Pacer International (Nasdaq:PACR),
announced the promotion of Peter Mettra to executive vice president
for Transportation Purchasing and Marketing, and the reassignment
of Adriene Bailey, also an executive vice president, to lead the
development of new, wholesale intermodal (truck and rail) products
and services. "The market is changing, and we are building and
aligning our organization to ensure that Pacer continues to be a
market leader in the business of moving truckload freight -- in any
mode," said Tom Shurstad, president of Pacer Stacktrain. "We are
firmly committed to our wholesale channel partners, and we are
investing in strengthening our executive team and organization. Our
intent is to build new products and services that will provide the
intermodal marketing company (IMC) community with seamless, high
quality, door-to-door intermodal services to offer to their
customers," he said. Mettra was formerly vice president for
Domestic Sales; and Bailey was formerly executive vice president
for Business Development and Transportation Purchasing. Both Mettra
and Bailey will continue to report to Tom Shurstad, who serves as
head of Pacer International's wholesale segment, as well as Pacer
Stacktrain president. Pacer Stacktrain's new products will be
designed to improve operating efficiencies and eliminate hand-offs,
to increase service quality, and to lower the total cost of
delivering the transportation service to the end customers, said
Bailey. "Our customers are participating with us in the design of
these products, and their input and continued collaboration will be
instrumental in the success of our initiative," she added. In an
earlier, related press release, the company announced that
intermodal industry veteran Dan Beers has joined the company as
executive vice president for Sales, and will be responsible for the
Domestic, Automotive, Ocean Carrier, and Mexico lines of business.
