Long Way to Go
When the shipment distance is more than 500 miles, shipping intermodal could be a better option.
Flexible Shipping Windows
Intermodal shipments tend to take 1-2 days longer, but when lead time allows, you can typically save 20% or more on your freight spend.
Capacity Crunch
A tight capacity market can cause shipping prices to jump. Intermodal shipping can be a good alternative when trucks are scarce. More options, more flexibility, more savings.
Eco-friendly
Being an environmentally conscious consumer is important. By shipping intermodal, you are leaving a much smaller carbon footprint than if you ship by truck.
