Infinity Transportation on Monday, Nov. 10, 2014 announced "a new expedited refrigerated domestic intermodal container service operating from the Pacific Northwest to the Midwest and East Coast."
The company's new intermodal operating platform, Infinity Transportation Logistics, LLC. ("ITL"), is headquartered in Atlanta, though daily operations will be managed from a dedicated location in Kansas City, Mo.
ITL will launch its new service in the middle of this month, using 53-foot refrigerated containters built for domestic service. The company's initial focus will be "moving frozen foods and other refrigerated products from Washington State and Oregon to the Midwest and the East Coast, with return service to Washington and Oregon." ITL claims the service "will be the only regularly scheduled refrigerated domestic intermodal service from Washington State to the Midwest and East Coast."
The new ITL expedited door-to-door intermodal service will depart intermodal ramps in Seattle and Spokane, Wash., and Portland, Ore., six days per week. Load transit time is projected to be about six days to the Midwest and eight-to-nine days to various destinations on the East Coast.
