Marie Ontario for a start up in the fourth quarter of 2006.It is located just minutes from the least-congested border crossing between Ontario and the US. This unique terminal facility will provides warehousing multimodal (rail/truck) and re-load services to all industries looking to reduce costs, increase market penetration and remain competetive in this ever-changing world.Sault MultiModal Terminal Inc. is served directly by both regional railways (Canadian National and Huron Central Railways). No matter which railway you're located on, there are no added inter-switching costs incurred to access this facility and that in itself, is a big savings.Inbound and outbound truck service at this Sault is unique in that both Canadian and US-based carriers service the immediate area. There is also the potential to use back-haul opportunities into and out of Sault Ste. Marie.The heavier truck weights allowed in Ontario and Michigan are also unique in reducing costs.

Cross docking is an effective shipping method to reduce costs. If it works for Walmart, it can work for you.
