Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know if intermodal shipping is a good fit for what I’m moving?
Intermodal shipping works best when you’re transporting large volumes over long distances, and the cargo isn’t extremely time-sensitive. It’s especially effective for freight that stays sealed and secure in containers throughout the trip. We help assess if this method aligns with your shipping needs and goals.
What should I expect during an intermodal shipment?
Expect your freight to move in a container that stays sealed as it transfers between rail and truck. There are usually terminal stops along the route, but the cargo itself isn’t unloaded or touched. We coordinate each step to keep transitions smooth and on schedule.
How is my freight kept safe when it’s moving between rail and truck?
Most intermodal freight is handled with cranes or specialized lifts, meaning it stays inside the same container the whole time. We work with experienced rail and truck operators who follow strict safety standards to prevent damage during transfers.
What types of products usually ship well with intermodal freight?
Freight that’s palletized, crated, or containerized is best. This includes retail products, raw materials, electronics, and manufactured goods. We often handle non-perishable shipments that don’t need refrigeration or special handling.
How do I compare intermodal shipping with regular trucking?
Intermodal tends to be more fuel-efficient and cost-effective over long distances, while truckload shipping may be faster for shorter hauls. We help break down the pros and cons based on your timeline, budget, and delivery needs.
Are there any common misconceptions about intermodal freight?
Yes. One common myth is that intermodal is slow or unreliable. In reality, rail schedules are very consistent, and with proper coordination, intermodal can be both timely and cost-effective. We focus on making sure the process is smooth and transparent from start to finish.
Can I still track my shipment when it’s moving between modes?
Absolutely. We offer full visibility with real-time tracking, even as your shipment moves from rail to truck. That way, you’re never left wondering where your freight is or when it will arrive.
