We work with other supply chain leaders , including more than 100 of the top motor carriers in North America , to seamlessly deliver freight door to door .
We have also invested over $ 38 billion since 2014 , with those continued capacity investments allowing us to add new schedules and expand service options for our intermodal customers . As we continue to invest in our network and intermodal facilities , we ’ ll continue to look to create additional capacity opportunities .
