Combine the efficiency of rail with the flexibility of trucking. Save up to 30% on long-haul freight while reducing your carbon footprint.
Intermodal shipping uses a combination of rail and truck to move your freight. Your container travels the long-haul distance by rail, with local trucking handling the pickup and delivery on each end. The result? Significant cost savings and a dramatically reduced environmental impact.
Ideal for shipments traveling 500+ miles that aren't time-critical, intermodal offers the best balance of price and reliability for many supply chains.
Rail is more fuel-efficient than trucking. Those savings are passed on to you with rates 15–30% lower than FTL.
One train can replace 280+ trucks. Reduce your carbon footprint and meet ESG goals with intermodal.
Rail capacity is less affected by driver shortages and market swings. Consistent service even in tight truck markets.
Modern intermodal achieves 95%+ on-time performance on established lanes. Scheduled service you can plan around.
Direct connections to every major US metro via BNSF, UP, CSX, and NS networks. UMAX and EMP pool access for flexible equipment.
Best economics on moves over 800 miles. The longer the lane, the bigger the savings vs. over-the-road truckload.
