Service benefits
Cost-Effective Transportation
Intermodal shipping leverages the cost efficiency of rail for long hauls while utilizing trucks for first- and last-mile delivery. This hybrid approach often results in significant savings compared to over-the-road trucking.
Environmental Benefits
Rail transport is one of the most eco-friendly shipping methods, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by up to 75% compared to long-haul trucking. By choosing intermodal, your company can lower its carbon footprint and contribute to a greener supply chain.
Reliable Transit Times
Intermodal freight benefits from the predictability of rail schedules, reducing delays caused by road traffic or driver availability. This reliability ensures that your shipments arrive on time, every time.
Capacity Solutions
With the flexibility to move large volumes of freight via rail, intermodal shipping helps mitigate capacity constraints in the trucking industry. It’s an excellent option during peak seasons when truckload capacity may be tight.
