Benefits of Intermodal Rail Shipping

ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION

Rail transportation is significantly more environmentally friendly than truck transportation. Trains are more fuel-efficient and can carry more cargo in less time, making fewer stops and emitting fewer greenhouse gases. If you’re looking for a sustainable solution to move your container, consider using Logistitrade’s rail branch.

SAFETY AND SECURITY

When it comes to safety, intermodal rail freight outperforms road transportation. This is particularly true for the transportation of ADR goods (explosives or flammables). By shipping these goods by train to the nearest hub and then using trucks for the final leg of the journey, you can ensure that your goods are transported in a safe and secure manner. Trains are also less susceptible to weather and traffic disruptions, making rail transportation an ideal choice for businesses looking to move their goods safely and reliably.

COST-EFFECTIVE OPTION

Using trucks to transport your goods comes with additional costs such as fuel, tolls, and driver labor. However, intermodal services allow multiple containers to be transported at once, which reduces the cost per load. The efficiency of rail transportation is typically 15 to 20 times greater than truck transportation, making intermodal rail freight an ideal choice for businesses looking to save money on their transportation costs.
