1.

Cost Effective

In lanes exceeding 800 miles, intermodal pricing can be particularly price competitive with motor carrier pricing, often yielding a 10-25% cost savings.
2.

Fuel Efficient & More Sustainable

Intermodal shipping is four times more fuel efficient than truckload. It also reduces carbon emissions by up to 75% vs truckload.
3.

Committed Capacity

Intermodal can be a significant source of capacity, particularly in peak season surges and when truck capacity tightens.
4.

Reduces Congestion

Switching from truckload to intermodal greatly reduces highway congestion. One train can take hundreds of trucks off our already congested highways while moving nearly 500 miles on a single gallon of diesel fuel!
