Intermodal shipping is the movement of freight using two or more modes of transportation—typically rail and truck—without handling the actual cargo when changing modes. Your goods are loaded into a standardized container that moves efficiently between truck and train, reducing handling, delays, and risk of damage.
Intermodal is ideal for dry goods, non-perishable packaged products, building materials, and other full truckload freight that doesn’t require special handling. Temperature-controlled or time-sensitive shipments can also be accommodated with planning.
You can request a quote by completing our simple online freight quote form or contacting our team directly. Just provide the origin, destination, freight type, and estimated weight, and we’ll respond quickly with a competitive rate and timeline.
Not necessarily. For longer distances, especially across provinces or cross-border, intermodal can be as fast—or faster—than trucking, thanks to efficient rail routes and lower chances of delays. Plus, it’s more cost-effective and eco-friendly.
