What Is Intermodal Rail Freight?

The Intermodal Railway Freight Shipping Comprises Both The Shipping By Rail And Shipping By Truck. A Rail Shipment Will Almost Always Require A Truck To Be Taken To Its Final Destination.

You need freight transportation for items that must be transported over long distances, hazardous materials, or extremely heavy items. The cost savings associated with train shipping are substantial compared to truckload shipping. Besides being better for the environment, it's also cheaper!

Rail shipping is cheaper than other methods?

There is no doubt that the answer is yes! Using a trucking carrier requires you to pay for fuel, fees, tolls, labor, and other expenses. The intermodal transportation process involves the movement of hundreds of containers at once. As a result, the per-load cost is reduced.

The average intermodal train can move one ton of freight over 400 miles with just one gallon of fuel. With such an awesome MPG ratio and fewer stops, you will save a great deal on freight shipping.
