MachineryLink Selects BNSF Logistics for Capacity Management Services
BNSF Logistics LLC announced today that
MachineryLink, the leading provider of combine leasing programs to
agricultural producers in North America, has selected BNSF Logistics to
provide equipment utilization services for MachineryLink's fleet operations
and surge capacity management for seasonal demand.
MachineryLink, based in Kansas City, Mo., will utilize the services of BNSF
Logistics to identify and facilitate optimal backhaul movements for its
fleet, repositioning the specialized equipment into the company's key areas
of need, while minimizing deadhead miles. As agricultural demand peaks,
BNSF Logistics will also provide MachineryLink with additional specialized
capacity to ensure consistent and timely service to its clients.
"BNSF Logistics' broad network of clients who utilize specialized equipment
provides a volume balance for MachineryLink's backhaul needs," said Robert
Sutton, Director of Supply Chain Services for BNSF Logistics. "During
seasonal peaks, we are prepared to supply the additional capacity that
MachineryLink will require."
"This relationship will be mutually beneficial," said Jim Bramlett, vice
president of Logistics for MachineryLink. "MachineryLink will see improved
efficiency in truck utilization and BNSF Logistics will have additional
resources and capacity to service their customer base."
