Real Business Benefits of Shipping Freight with Intermodal FTL Transport

Intermodal freight transport combines the efficiency of rail, the flexibility of trucking, and the reliability of shipping to deliver your goods safely and cost-effectively. With your cargo secured in a single container throughout its journey, we ensure minimal handling, reduced transit times, and maximum security.

Canada is a vast country with significant distances between major cities and regions. Intermodal transport is well-suited for long-distance freight hauls, as trains can cover these distances more efficiently. This is especially relevant for shipping freight from coast to coast.

Intermodal transport enhances the security of your freight by keeping them in the same container throughout the entire journey. This minimizes the risk of damage, theft, or loss that can occur during transfers between different modes of transportation.

Intermodal transport is often a more cost-effective option for shipping FTL freight. Rail transport, in particular, is cost-efficient for long-distance shipments, especially when large volumes of goods are involved. Cost savings are achieved through economies of scale, minimized handling, and optimized routing.
