Benefits of Intermodal Transportation

Intermodal shipping drives consistency, fuel savings, cargo security and sustainability in your logistics and supply chain management.

Reduce Emissions

Intermodal transportation burns less fuel than shipping by truck. In fact, due to the large shipment volumes involved, a single rail shipment can save 100,000 gallons of diesel fuel as compared to truckload shipping.

Improve Reliability

When market volatility, new regulations, or other factors impact available truckload capacity and rates, intermodal shipping gives you the flexibility you need to ensure on-time, cost-effective transportation of your goods.

Optimize Costs

Intermodal freight loads going 500+ miles can typically be transported at a lower cost per pound than over the road shipping.

Safe & Secure

When properly blocked and braced, intermodal transportation services provides shippers a safe and secure option to move freight.
