Pacer Launches New Smoother Moves Calculator

Pacer International, Inc. (Nasdaq: PACR), the asset-light North American freight transportation and logistics services provider, recently launched a new web tool, the Smoother Moves Calculator on its website, www.pacer.com. The new calculator enables current and prospective customers to conveniently estimate the value of switching from truckload to Pacer intermodal services.

With the interactive tool, users can choose their origin and destination city pairs, commodity type, and shipment quantities for their current truckload lanes. The calculator will then provide immediate feedback on the estimated dollar savings, carbon emission reductions, and transit time differences associated with switching to Pacer’s intermodal services. The market-average values for truck, intermodal, fuel, and supply chain day costs can easily be adjusted to suit the user’s specific situation. With a simple button click, customers can submit contact and shipment information and receive a detailed quote from Pacer, as well as open up the convenient “Getting Started Guide” that explains more about how the tool works.

“We are very excited about the value the Smoother Moves Calculator will provide to our customers. Users can now learn both the potential dollar savings and estimated carbon reductions Pacer intermodal services can provide in one easy-to-use tool,” said David Hoppens, vice president of Marketing. “Moreover, Pacer’s Smoother Moves Calculator is the only tool that takes into account inventory carrying costs, providing our customers with a more accurate savings estimate, and the flexibility of customizing individual cost components to more closely replicate their specific transportation network."

With this tool, customers and potential customers can clearly understand the positive impact Pacer’s intermodal services can have on their bottom line and the environment. The Smoother Moves Calculator is just another way Pacer is making our customers’ worlds run smoother.

Pacer will be premiering their Smoother Moves Calculator at IANA’s 2010 Transcomp Exhibition & Intermodal Expo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida on November 14-16. Attendees can visit Pacer’s booth, #900, for a live demonstration of the tool, its capabilities, and the benefits of truck to intermodal conversion.
