​Advantages of Intermodal Shipping

7/15/2018

Intermodal shipping allows you to deliver freight in a vehicle or an intermodal container using different modes of transportation such as trucks, railways, and barges. It is often used in the food and beverage industries to deliver wine and beer, frozen goods and fresh produce to another location. Intermodal shipping offers the benefits of both rail and truck shipping for better efficiency.
Barges or trucks move the goods between the rail terminals and the drop-off point of the cargo. Rail can help companies save a significant amount of fuel as railroad cars can carry freight over long distances. Intermodal shipping can also handle the increase in demands better than other forms of delivery due to its improved reliability and speed. Since the general public doesn’t have easy access to container ports and rail yards, intermodal shipping offers increased security to shippers. There are a lot of reasons why you should go for intermodal transportation and here are just some of them. ​

Reasons to Choose LTL Shipping

7/12/2018

 
Picture
There are different ways to deliver goods from one place to another. One of these is intermodal shipping, which uses more than one mode of transportation to move cargo. Your freight can be moved via railway, truck, plane, cargo ships or barges. The shipping container or intermodal container makes these modes of transportation possible. 
These shipping containers are standardized, so they can be stacked, loaded, unloaded and moved by companies that provide intermodal freight services. Intermodal shipping is usually more affordable than shipping freight by truck alone as it combines the cost-efficient benefits of both trucks and trains. When your goods are delivered by railway, much more load can be shipped for the same amount of energy used by a truck alone. 

Another way to ship goods is through less than truckload (LTL) shipping. This is a good option if your cargo is too much for a parcel carrier service to handle, but not enough to need a full truckload. LTL shipments usually weigh 151 to 15,000 pounds. ​
