Intermodal Rail Shipping
for Chemicals & Industrial Goods

Yes. Safety and compliance are our top priorities. We are experts in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) regulations and manage all aspects of hazmat shipping with strict adherence to safety protocols. Our team ensures your shipment has the proper documentation, placarding, and handling from start to finish, using only certified carriers for a secure, compliant, and reliable door-to-door solution.

You do not need a rail spur to take advantage of the efficiencies of intermodal shipping. Our service is a seamless door-to-door solution. We arrange for a truck to pick up the container directly from your facility, transport it to the nearest rail terminal for the long-haul journey, and then have another truck complete the final delivery. You get a single point of contact and all the benefits of rail without needing your own infrastructure.

Intermodal is ideal for a wide range of industrial and chemical freight. This includes palletized and drummed chemicals, bulk liquids in intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), polymers and plastic resins, lubricants, industrial machinery components, and other finished manufactured goods. The sealed, secure containers provide excellent protection for your products during transit.

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.

Our intermodal service offers transit times that are highly competitive with long-haul trucking. While rail can sometimes add a day to transit, it operates on a fixed schedule, making it exceptionally reliable and predictable. This consistency is often more valuable for production planning and JIT inventory management than the variable transit times of road transport, allowing you to lower costs without disrupting your supply chain.
