Tiger Cool Express, an innovator in temperature-controlled domestic intermodal, has closed, impacting over 50 jobs. The closure follows declining demand for intermodal and low trucking rates.
Kansas-based temperature-controlled intermodal provider, Tiger Cool Express, has ceased operations after nearly ten years in business, due to a drop in demand for domestic intermodal and low trucking rates.
