Progressive Transportation’s agent carrier, Christenson Transportation, and Florida East Coast Railway have teamed up to reduce delivery time between the Tennessee and Kentucky border and Florida.

Under the arrangement, Florida East Coast Railway agreed to give rail trailers to Christenson Transportation for their exclusive use. The railway brings the trailers to Christenson Transportation’s terminal where they are stored, distributed, loaded and brought back, allowing the railroad to make the turn from Atlanta back to the rail ramp in the same day without a break in hours of service. The trailers can accommodate up to 53-foot containers.
