Absolutely. Our door-to-door intermodal service is structured to compete directly with the transit times of over-the-road trucking. By combining the long-haul efficiency of rail with the local flexibility of trucks, we provide a fast, reliable, and predictable shipping schedule. You get the speed you need to keep customers happy, often with significant cost savings.
Switching from full truckload to intermodal rail is one of the most effective ways to lower your transportation expenses, with potential savings of up to 40%. Rail is significantly more fuel-efficient for long distances, reducing your cost per kilometer. These savings allow you to absorb rising fuel surcharges, offer more competitive shipping rates to your customers, and ultimately improve your profit margins.
Yes. Intermodal shipping is built for scalability and flexibility. We understand the seasonal surges of the ecommerce calendar, from Black Friday to Boxing Day. Our extensive network and capacity allow you to scale your shipping volume up or down without the typical constraints or premium costs of securing last-minute truckload capacity, ensuring your supply chain remains fluid and responsive.
Intermodal is ideal for a vast range of ecommerce goods. As long as your products can be loaded onto a 53’ container, they can be shipped intermodally. This includes everything from boxed apparel, electronics, and home goods to palletized consumer packaged goods and even oversized items. We ensure your cargo is secure and handled with care from origin to destination.
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.
We make it simple. You do not need a rail siding or any special infrastructure. Our service is a seamless, door-to-door solution. We handle all the logistics for you: a truck picks up the container from your warehouse, we manage the transfer to and from the railway, and a final truck handles the delivery. You get one point of contact and one invoice, making the entire process as easy as booking a standard truck.
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.
