When it comes to containerized goods transportation, ensuring the timely arrival of shippers' cargo at distribution centers is of critical necessity.

In today's intricate intermodal transportation landscape, achieving this goal hinges on one key element — visibility. As the industry faces heightened competition and cost pressures, trucking companies must proactively adopt strategies to maintain their competitive edge.

Enter Excargo Services, a pioneering force in this field.

The specialist in intermodal trucking is known for its pioneering use of technology and customized visibility tools. It serves diverse industries, notably petrochemicals and specialty chemicals, especially along the Gulf Coast near the Port of Houston. The company offers a wide range of services, including drayage, truckload transportation, regional trucking, and transloading. With a strong commitment to secure and punctual cargo delivery, Excargo Services is the trusted partner for shippers.

The company employs a multi-faceted approach that goes beyond traditional service provision. It forges dedicated partnerships, integrates into clients' operations, and prioritizes robust online communication to enhance transparency and data exchange.

“We have firmly established our position in the industry with a deep understanding of transportation challenges, a commitment to personalized solutions, and an unyielding dedication to our customers,” says Marcia H. Faschingbauer, founder, president, and CEO, Excargo Services.

In response to recent disruptions in the transportation and logistics landscape, Excargo Services has taken proactive steps to enhance supply chain resilience and support customers. It engages closely with customers to collaboratively address challenges and mitigate disruptions, even though certain issues like shipping delays are beyond its control.

One critical industry concern, the availability of chassis, has been effectively addressed for Excargo's customer base thanks to its proactive chassis acquisition efforts. The organization remains vigilant regarding its customers' concerns related to economic fluctuations and shifts in consumer spending. This attentiveness underscores Excargo Services' commitment to adaptability and its relentless pursuit of innovative solutions.

A key achievement for Excargo Services was partnering with a major retail industry player to improve container identification and routing, which had previously led to delays and penalties. Excargo used its advanced visibility tool to provide real-time insights into cargo status, demurrage costs, and shipment tracking. This collaboration significantly reduced demurrage costs and improved overall efficiency by gaining access to scheduling systems and eliminating the need for manual yard reports. These efforts reflect Excargo Services' commitment to adaptability and innovative solutions in the changing transportation landscape.

In the post-service phase, Excargo Services prioritizes customer satisfaction, evidenced by its remarkably low client turnover rates and consistently high retention levels. It achieves this through regular and transparent communication with customers, aligning with their developing needs. Positive feedback often highlights its exceptional communication channels and dedicated drivers.
