FEC Railway to launch online freight booking system





Florida East Coast Railway (FECR) recently announced the launch of EZ Buy, a new online price quote and booking system for customers to purchase door-to-door intermodal transactional freight connecting the Southeast U.S. markets to the South Florida markets.

Users receive access to dynamic price quotes, while having the ability to book an order in one quick easy transaction. The EZ Buy tool was officially released March 1, 2016.

"We are consistently developing technologies to enhance our customers’ experience and the services we provide. The EZ Buy tool will deliver fast access for intermodal customers to ‘buy’ transactional freight connecting the Southeast U.S. markets and the

South Florida markets via an easy to use web portal," said Jim Hertwig, FECR President and CEO.

Purchasing freight via EZ Buy is offered between the Southeast U.S. markets of Atlanta, Charlotte and Jacksonville, and the South Florida markets of Fort Pierce, Fort Lauderdale and Miami, by simply entering a pick-up and delivery zip code or city within these serviceable areas.

All freight purchases made through EZ Buy will move across FECR’s intermodal network utilizing FEC Highway Services, the drayage and trucking arm of FECR. Seamless overnight service is provided between North and South Florida, and two-day service connects South Florida markets and the Southeast U.S. markets of Atlanta and Charlotte.
