Opportunity affecting the delivery method


Question: Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNSF) Railroad has approached Saturn about using the Autostack system to deliver vehicles. Autostack is an intermodal delivery system in which six Saturn's can be loaded into a standard 48 ft container at Spring Hill and delivered to destination railyards via double stack intermodal service. The cars would be unloaded and delivered by drayage carriers. BNSF has offered 2-day transit time to Arlington, IX, at a rate of $232 per vehicle. Loading costs of $13.50 and drayage costs of $12.50 would be incurred. How would this opportunity affect the delivery method recommendation for the Dallas, TX, retailer?
