Why does BNSF require a car order ten days prior to the start of a shipping period within the period of the COT purchased?
Since the COT provides a guaranteed car supply, a certain number of days are required for operational planning. Furthermore, BNSF’s operations group is limited in the number of cars it can place on any given day. The advance notice is needed to plan for and place cars and power in the required locations. The advance car order helps BNSF place cars on or as close to the requested “preferred placement date” as possible.
