IANA (Intermodal Association of North America), an organization that represents the combined interests of the intermodal freight transportation industry, and ACT Research, a company in industry analysis and forecasting services for commercial vehicle and transportation markets, have entered into an agreement aimed at enhancing the service offerings of both organizations.
“Like DAT, Cass and many others, we value quality industry data partners. This agreement with IANA is an opportunity to serve the industry and deepen our expertise in the intermodal sector,” Tim Denoyer, vice president and senior analyst at ACT Research, said. “We’ve long respected Larry Gross and are excited to partner with him in this effort, and to welcome IANA’s new economist Andrew Sibold. We look forward to contributing to the Intermodal In Depth and Intermodal Quarterly publications.”
“We are pleased to be joining forces with IANA,” Kenny Vieth, president of ACT Research, said. “The complimentary nature of the work that each organization brings to the table will elevate the level of discourse and enhance our offerings to the industry.”
“ACT Research’s exceptional work sets the benchmark in motor carrier freight analysis,” Hal Pollard, vice president of member services for IANA, said. “This partnership creates exciting opportunities for IANA, ACT and the broader containerized freight community, leveraging ACT’s analytical expertise for our shared future. We’re especially thrilled to welcome Tim Denoyer to the Intermodal EXPO 2025 main stage as a new partner.”
“Our expertise in truckload market dynamics helps us understand where intermodal markets are headed in the future too,” Denoyer said. “Partnering with IANA will help us broaden and deepen our freight service.”
