Intermodal Freight Services (TOFC, COFC, Truck-Rail-Truck)
If you are shipping freight long distances (1000+ miles) or between major cities,
intermodal transportation offers the most powerful and economical combination of
services and costs available.
Utilizing an economic balance of truck and rail to achieve a more cost-effective
and efficient method of moving freight, intermodal shipping includes both an origin
point and final delivery destination much like Truckload and LTL freight services.
The origin and destination are then seamlessly linked together by a combination of
truck and rail services from our extensive carrier network. We handle everything!
