RailPASS: Streamlining the Intermodal Facility Experience
RailPASS is a mobile application developed by BNSF Railway Company specifically for truck drivers utilizing BNSF Intermodal Facilities. Designed to create a more efficient and expedited gate experience, RailPASS offers a range of features to streamline the process.
With RailPASS, truck drivers can input shipment details directly through the app, eliminating the need to manually enter information at the intermodal facility kiosk. This not only saves time but also reduces the number of screen requests and touches, cutting current entrance gate times by more than half.
The app also provides up-to-date status information on shipments assigned to the driver, conveniently displayed in the personalized "My Units" screen. This ensures that drivers have real-time visibility into the progress of their shipments, allowing for better planning and coordination.
Additionally, RailPASS allows drivers to update their assigned parking location directly through the app. This eliminates the need to call dispatchers or flag down yard checkers when there is an existing shipment in a designated spot, saving time and improving overall efficiency.
RailPASS is a valuable tool for truck drivers utilizing BNSF Intermodal Facilities, offering a seamless and streamlined experience for drop-offs, pick-ups, and locating shipments. By leveraging the app's features, drivers can significantly reduce their time spent at the facility and enhance their overall productivity.
