Here’s the first in a series of videos covering the content in blogs from Zmodal! Watch the video below and learn if intermodal is right for your freight.
Intermodal is often overlooked as a potential solution for your freight. Intermodal typically involves a first and last mile trucking move with a long haul rail move. This results in added efficiency and cost savings on routes longer than 500-800 miles depending on the lane.
Adding intermodal into your freight mix can bring added guaranteed capacity as well as cost savings which results in a lower cost and more efficient supply chain.
Intermodal transportation is also a more environmentally friendly solution to over the road trucking, with railroads being able to move 1 ton of freight 100 miles on as little as one gallon of diesel fuel. Moving freight to railroads also dramatically reduces congestion in metropolitan areas.
