Daily Clerical and Operational Assistance
For small short line operations, hiring a full staff of office personnel is just not feasible. Daily requirements for monitoring EDI and producing train paperwork often falls to just one person. When that person is out due to vacations or sick time, the operation suffers because untrained personnel must fill in, often with little notice.
Some short line operations are so small they only operate a few days a week or on a seasonal basis. Often this means that untrained individuals are forced into a role where they must handle the back office requirements of the short line.
Rail Advisors can provide fill-in or ongoing assistance to help you manage the daily needs of your operation efficiently and inexpensively.
For small operations we can manage your entire TMS data entry – this frees up your team to manage the railroad.
We will:
Interchange cars online and ensure each car is correctly flagged for revenue, car hire, and movement.
Move cars on the railroad based on crew feedback.
Make sure each car receives all associated switching and demurrage revenue.
Supplement your existing teams during traffic surges or when employees are out on vacation.
