Intermodal Carrier Solutions
What is Intermodal?
Intermodal: being or involving transportation by more than one form of carrier during a single journey.
J&J Logistics focuses on domestic intermodal transportation of equipment between trucks, railroads. Maybe you have seen a train pass by with truck trailers riding on the railroad cars. The following is a quick example of utilizing more than one mode of transportation to ship freight from origin to destination:
- A truck moves an empty piece of equipment to a shipper to pick up a load.
- The equipment is loaded with freight and then taken by truck to a railroad yard.
- Loaded equipment is put onto a train and railed to its destination.
- The load is taken off the train and delivered by truck to the customer.
Intermodal Carrier Advantages:
- Significant cost savings than shipping over the road carrier
- Cargo is secured on one trailer for the duration of the shipment
