USA Truck Announces Rail Intermodal Container Service

USA Truck, Inc. have announced that it has entered into a long-term agreement with BNSF Railway to move private 53’ domestic intermodal containers.

USA Truck, which moved its first rail intermodal load in December 2007, experienced year-over-year intermodal revenue growth of 69% in 2009 and 50% during the first half of 2010. The majority of that revenue was derived from trailer-on-flat-car service. The addition of private containers offers the Company an opportunity to continue its growth in the intermodal marketplace and to continue to offer our customers additional transportation solutions.

“We believe these private containers will provide a much-needed additional source of environmentally friendly and cost-efficient capacity to our customers, and an additional avenue for us to further diversify our business model,” stated Cliff Beckham, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Company will make the private containers available to its customers immediately.
