The Smart Choice for Long-Haul Freight

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.

  • Save up to 30% vs. over-the-road FTL
  • 75% lower CO2 emissions than trucking
  • 53' and 48' container options
  • Partnerships with Class I railroads (BNSF, UP, CSX, NS)
  • Door-to-door service including drayage
  • Real-time container tracking
  • Consistent capacity even in tight truck markets
