International Freight Shipping
Intermodal freight transport in this country has been in use before there were even railroads, and this type of combination shipping is still arguably the best way to transport your freight for several reasons, including cost, load flexibility, speed of delivery, security and even environmental benefits. At our intermodal shipping company, we are an industry leader in arranging intermodal shipping regardless of your cargo and we guarantee fast, efficient service at substantial cost savings to you.
Just in case you are not familiar with shipping jargon, intermodal transport involves more than one mode of transportation in getting your freight to its destination. If the modes of transport are trucking and rail, we can arrange shipping point to point anywhere in the continental United States, Canada and Mexico. But if you have shipping needs around the world, we can arrange intermodal transport via ship or plane to practically any destination on the planet.
Of course there are different dimensional and weight restrictions depending on the mode of transport, so please be specific when you place an order with us. But the benefits of intermodal transport make it worthwhile. And we will tailor all of our services around your business needs. You needn’t worry about all the red tape of transporting your freight from ship to rail to truck, etc. All of the arrangements, permitting, scheduling will be handled on our end. You get to ship it and forget it, basically – although you can check on your freight with our courteous staff at any time. We have a vast network of business relationships with shippers in rail, trucking, air and sea, which ensures fast, efficient intermodal shipping at substantial savings to you.
And savings is one major benefit of intermodal shipping. For example, if you are shipping across the U.S., its no doubt will be faster to use rail or air, if your cargo size allows, and then use trucking on just the last leg. Railways usually offer the quickest and most direct routes (and they are low cost to operate), and they can haul more cargo than a single truck. This is why trains, which also have the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly than trucks, perform the majority of intermodal transport in the U.S.
Of course, trains can’t go to the “front door” of your eventual destination or departure point, so that’s when over-the-road transport comes in, but on just a short route. Trucks are nearly always the first and final mode of intermodal transport. In fact, most intermodal transports in North America will be via train and truck. And because railway cars are similar to trucking containers, you can transport a wide variety of freight, including refrigerated goods such as food, dairy or liquids.
Another benefit to intermodal shipping is security on your cargo. The freight itself is not handled when changing modes. The contents of the transport are unknown to the shippers and only opened at the point of origin and then the destination. This fact limits the risks for the cargo, including potential spoilage or rotting of, say, produce. The container(s) itself is simply transported to another mode of transportation, leaving what’s inside untouched and unexposed to the climate. In addition, all freight carriers are required to carry cargo insurance certificates for the value of your freight.
Our goal is to provide you superior intermodal transportation and on-time scheduling in order to maintain a good working relationship with you. We think that is why we get a large amount of referral customers. Intermodal transport can save you time and money with your freight – so let us take care of the headache of transporting your cargo.
