Intermodal rail is an excellent method to ship both household goods and general freight shipments for many reasons. Pricing can be very attractive compared to surface freight, especially on North-South, South-North, and coast to coast shipments. Rail containers, obtainable in 20, 40, 48, and 53 foot trailer sizes, can be delivered directly to your dock or home, loaded by you, and returned to be immediately and loaded onto a stack train going to your destination. Once the train arrives at the destination rail terminal and unloaded, the trailer is delivered on a chassis by truck to your residence or place of business. Rail is extremely reliable, virtually damage free, and the timing is precise. Check us out for the best intermodal rail rates for your large shipment needs.
If you are on a good intermodal rail route, it is often very cost effective to consolidate smaller shipments to take advantage of the excellent rail rates. Also, inbound and outbound international containerized freight can often be shipped very efficiently by intermodal rail.
Surface freight shipment of large moves usually involves either a 28, 45, or 53 foot trailer. Shipments are priced at full truck rates, and pricing is very competitive. Surface freight is usually the mode of choice for shorter moves or those not moving directly on intermodal rail routes. Large household goods shipments are outstanding choices for full truck shipments, and are far cheaper than moving by a "van line". Most general commodity freight moves by this method.
