Infinity Transportation this week said it is launching a new expedited refrigerated domestic intermodal container service operating from the Pacific Northwest to the Midwest and East Coast due to capacity constraints with refrigerated trucking service.

The new intermodal operating platform, Infinity Transportation Logistics LLC, is headquartered in Atlanta. Daily operations will be managed from a dedicated location in Kansas City, Missouri

ITL is expected to launch its new service in mid-November with 53-foot refrigerated containers built for domestic service. The primary focus of the business will be moving frozen foods and other refrigerated products from Washington State and Oregon to the Midwest and the East Coast, with return service to Washington and Oregon, according to the company. The company claimed it will be the only regularly scheduled refrigerated domestic intermodal service from Washington State to the Midwest and East Coast.

The expedited door-to-door intermodal service will depart intermodal ramps in Seattle and Spokane, Washington and Portland, Oregon six days per week. Load transit time is projected to be about six days to the Midwest and eight to nine days to various destinations on the East Coast.

The company said the offering will have a service radius of about 160 miles from intermodal ramps in Seattle, Spokane and Portland, allowing ITL to serve many parts of Washington, Oregon and Idaho including the greater Portland area, Willamette Valley, Hood River, the Columbia Basin of Washington and Oregon, the Yakima Valley, Skagit Valley, the Puget Sound area and the greater Spokane area. ITL will also bring refrigerated and frozen foods and some dry goods back from the Midwest and East Coast to the Pacific Northwest.
