Kansas City Misouri USA - KCS announced today that it has engaged Commtrex to enhance the visibility and connectivity of its network of more than 100 trans-load facilities in the United States and Mexico using Commtrex's platform.
 
The new relationship with Commtrex comes at a time of increasingly complex and volatile global supply chains, capacity constraints, labor shortages, rising transportation costs, and growing trade throughout North America due to the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, KCS officials said in a press release.
 
Located in 19 U.S. and Mexican states, KCS' trans-load facilities handle food, agricultural commodities, bulk materials, chemicals, paper, forest products, steel, and other metals.
 
The Commtrex platform enables shippers to search for trans-load centers by location, commodities handled, services provided, and other parameters to develop their freight-rail options.
 
Close to one-third of Commtrex's 2,300 members are rail-served shippers.
