Hertwig - from page 7
voice with the railroads on the need for service, and they
also made a commitment to intermodal that I think was
very important in the early years. Today, for probably for
most of the railroads, they're the largest domestic customer.
If you look at the international side, K-Line ran one of
the first stack trains. I think they went from California to Columbus, Ohio. Also, you can't forget about APL. APL Stack
Train was one of the first to really combine an international
stack train operation with a domestic container program.
APL Stack Train was a real leader back then, together with
the Union Pacific in the West and with CSX in the East.
And of course there's J.B. Hunt, who first started with
trailers - I think it was called the Quantum Program -
and then converted that into containers. Today they're the
largest container supplier from a domestic standpoint.
Those companies were all real leaders.
As far as individuals, just look at the list of Silver Kingpin
awardees. It includes suppliers, railroads and draymen.
IANA has done a great job of really recognizing those
people that have been leaders in the industry, and I think it
speaks well for the award.
I would mention three, maybe four, specific people,
starting with Malcom McLean, the father of containerization - you can't forget about him. And there's Phil Yeager,
Trucking Software
an early legend in intermodal, who formed the Hub Group.
From a railroad standpoint - and there are a lot of
really great people worth mentioning - the guy that I
remember was Don McInnes. Don was with the Santa Fe
Railroad and headed up intermodal for them. Don was a
real leader, and early on when IANA was being formed, Don
played a significant role.
You also have to give credit to Joni Casey. Joni has been
phenomenal. I sat in board and committee meetings with
her, and she was the voice of reason keeping everybody
focused on improving the product and being open to the
various ideas. She was very good at making sure everybody
got their voice heard.
The industry is where it is today because of what they did.
Insights: You have been instrumental in advocating for
infrastructure investment in South Florida, particularly
at the ports - where do you see the need for additional
investments?
Hertwig: I think getting in and out of the ports continues to be something that everybody's working on and
figuring out. The equipment is improving. New intermodal
facilities are being built around the country with wide-span
cranes that increase efficiency.
Technology also obviously plays a major role. Drivers
