Swift to start COFC intermodal cross-border Mexico service
Written by jrood
Phoenix, Ariz.-based Swift Transportation plans to start a new COFC Intermodal service into and out of Mexico. The COFC network will service between the U.S. and North Eastern Mexico, Central Mexico, Guadalajara and Mexico City areas. This service is in conjunction with its rail partner, Kansas City Southern and their subsidiary, Kansas City Southern de Mexico Railroad. Swift's new COFC intermodal product expands service to and from Mexico in domestic containers covering all major centers in North America. Swift will continue to offer existing Trailer on Flat Car products to and from Mexico. These two intermodal products serve to complement Swift's over the road cross-border business operated in conjunction with Trans-Mex LLC. "The expansion of the COFC product to and from Mexico completes our COFC geographic footprint and permits Swift to capitalize on considerable advantages in the cross-border (Mexico - US) segment," said Swift Transportation President Richard Stocking. "The entire Swift team is excited to add value to our customers through constant innovation and new product launches. Swift is committed to our best-in-class philosophy and we are aligned to achieve greatness."
