Solving Unique Industry Redundancies

Paper mills and distributors face a logistics model that hasn't kept pace with railcar design or operating policy shifts.

Between outdated infrastructure and the loss of traditional storage methods, many shippers are forced into costly workarounds just to maintain flow.

Challenge 1: Reduced Rail Loading Capacity

Most legacy paper warehouses were built for 50' boxcars. But today, the industry standard is shifting to 60' boxcars—making existing facilities incompatible without major renovations. The required capital investment to retrofit these spaces is substantial and often unrealistic.

Challenge 2: 'Storage in Transit' Is Gone

Railroads have changed how paper shippers operate. Where boxcars were once used for origin-side storage, this model is no longer permitted. And because unloading at destination markets traditionally requires a warehouse, many companies are now left without a storage option at all.
