Why use intermodal transportation?

While FTL can be faster, intermodal transportation provides more security, cost efficiency, and eco-friendliness.

Intermodal freight shipping, especially for lanes out of California, can reduce cargo theft risk. Depending on the timetable and commodity, the rates may also be lower than trucking.
