Armstrong & Associates' Evaluation: Rapidly growing BNSF Logistics is on track to generate $270 million in revenue by the end of 2005. Acquisitions make up a large chunk of BNSF's plan, but organic growth contributes to half of its expansion. Much of BNSF's organic growth comes from its ability to manage rail in addition to intermodal and truck transportation. This multi-modal competency coupled with value-added services and strong information technology provides BNSF Logistics with a competitive advantage, awarding it entry into large accounts with rail and truck transportation needs. Value-added services include: cross-docking, transloading, expedited truck/rail service, pool distribution, and supply chain network analysis and re-design.
