Intermodal Shipping
for Food & Beverage

Yes. We specialize in protecting your temperature-sensitive freight. Our refrigerated “reefer” containers are equipped with advanced climate control systems that maintain your specified temperature from the moment of pickup to the final delivery. We provide a consistent, food-safe environment for everything from frozen goods to chilled beverages, ensuring your products arrive in perfect condition.

We adhere to the highest standards of food safety throughout the shipping process. Every container is thoroughly inspected and cleaned before loading to meet food-grade specifications. We use dedicated equipment for food products and follow strict handling protocols to prevent any risk of cross-contamination, ensuring your shipment complies with all CFIA regulations and arrives ready for market.

Absolutely. We designed our door-to-door service to compete with the speed of traditional trucking. We understand that for the food and beverage industry, time is critical. By combining the efficiency of long-haul rail with the agility of local trucking, we provide fast and, most importantly, predictable transit times. This reliability allows you to manage your inventory and sensitive shelf-life requirements with confidence.

Absolutely. We serve customers across Canada and the U.S. agri-food corridor, including coast-to-coast Canadian coverage and access through key U.S. intermodal hubs.

It’s fast and straightforward. Just fill out our quote form with your origin, destination, freight type, and volume. Our team will follow up with pricing and transit details — no guesswork, no delays.

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.

• Cost savings over long distances
• Reduced carbon footprint (rail is 3–4x more fuel-efficient than trucking)
• Improved security and reduced handling
• Reliable transit times through scheduled rail networks

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.

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.

Intermodal is an excellent fit for a wide range of shipment sizes, from single containers to multi-load projects. It is ideal for shipping finished consumer-packaged goods, beverages, canned and dry goods, fresh produce, and frozen items. If you currently ship via full truckload, you can almost certainly benefit from the cost savings and efficiency of our intermodal solutions. We handle the entire process, so you don’t need a rail siding or special equipment at your facility.
