About Us
Escalation Consultants
Escalation Consultants was founded in 1979 and has been helping shippers reduce and control rail expenses for more than 30 years.
Escalation Consultants’ message is a simple one: the price you pay under a rail contract should not occur by chance. You need to have a strategy based on factual data that lets you clearly demonstrate what rates are reasonable and why railroads should provide you with the rates you need. Escalation Consultants works with many large and small rail shippers in strategic planning, rail negotiations and optimizing rail bid evaluations, but most of our work is involved in finding and developing opportunities for reducing our clients’ rail expenses.
