Testimonials

FTR is the gold standard when it comes to freight transportation understanding, analysis and forecasting. CSX has gained great benefits from our continued association with FTR, which includes subscriptions to FTR publications, in-person briefings of our top executives, and our participation in their world-class annual transportation conference. I highly recommend FTR to anyone with exposure to the North American freight transport system.

As a first-time attendee, I found the conference to be extremely informative and well managed. The content was relevant and provided some insight to the ways other companies manage their business. The wide range of attendees (shippers, carriers, 3pls, etc.) provided good conversation during the networking sessions and meals.
