Intermodal Shipping Explained
Intermodal shipping utilizes specialized, standardized containers, distinct from traditional trailers, to facilitate the seamless transfer of cargo across different transportation modes. Unlike trailers towed by Class 8 tractors, intermodal containers are designed for easy transition from trucks to trains, ships, or planes, using cranes or telehandler machinery for loading.
Key Components:
COFC (Container on Flat Car): A method where containers are placed directly on railroad flat cars, optimizing efficiency.
TOFC (Trailer on Flat Car): Involves transporting trailers on flat cars, combining the flexibility of road transport with the efficiency of rail.
Advantages:
Domestic Gray Box Usage: By utilizing domestic gray boxes, we minimize the need for container repositioning within the country, streamlining domestic shipments.
Global Reach: Whether shipping across the country or around the globe, our intermodal services ensure your cargo arrives safely and efficiently.
