Keep Your Supply Chain On Track
Advantages of Intermodal:
Sustainability:
Intermodal is incredibly eco-friendly. Trains move one ton of freight 450 miles on a single gallon of fuel.
Secure Transportation:
Properly secured intermodal freight has a very low rate of damage.
Rate Stability:
Project and long-term pricing can provide cost stability for our customers.
Cost Savings:
Intermodal can offer significant cost savings compared to over-the-road transportation, especially for long-haul lanes.
Scalability:
Intermodal is able to ramp up or ramp down capacity to match your shipping needs.
- Intermodal terminals are located in major markets and port cities
- Intermodal carriers will dray up to a couple hundred miles to reach the shipper or consignee – lanes that require extensive drayage will typically be more expensive and harder to cover
- Any lane over 500 miles in length could be a good candidate for intermodal
We offer refrigerated intermodal for select lanes and commodities
Common Misperceptions About Intermodal:
“Intermodal transit is too long”

“Intermodal is only good for long-haul moves”
Any lane over 500 miles in length is a good candidate for an intermodal lane.
“Intermodal damages freight”
Properly secured intermodal freight has a very low rate of damage.
“We don’t want to block & brace our freight”
We can provide loading diagrams that can help show the shipper how to properly secure the freight.
