Intermodal

Our strategic locations allow us to operate a unique intermodal program that will move your domestic freight across the country for the lowest rates in the logistics industry, including flatbed freight. Your shipments are handled in a secure and reliable environment so you may rest assured your supply chain is operating at maximum efficiency.

Our Intermodal division will coordinate and monitor the entire move so your transportation package is virtually “seamless.” We have the ability to trace your shipment via the internet for up-to-date information on its status.

The option to ship products, materials, or equipment via intermodal rail transportation cuts cost without cutting corners. Shipping freight in transferable containers rather than exclusive or dedicated over the road trucks leads to a significant decrease in the cost of shipping. Another financial benefit to choosing intermodal rail shipping is that it reduces fuel surcharges. Over the road trucking charges can fluctuate due to the volatility of diesel fuel prices, resulting in your payments fluctuating as the price you pay per mile changes. Integrating rail into the cross country shipping process reduces the amount of money you pay for the diesel costs associated with shipping your freight.

Remaining independent from rail, truck, and steamship companies we are able to utilize the nation’s 125,000+ rail trailers and 30,000+ domestic containers, rather than being confined to a burdensome asset base. This cost savings is passed directly to our clients allowing us to become the most cost effective IMC in the Midwest.
