FAQs
Q1: What kind of freight is best suited for intermodal transport?
It works best for freight that isn’t time-critical but benefits from long-haul cost efficiency, think consumer goods, packaged food, and retail inventory. It’s a smart choice when your cargo can travel in containers across rail and road with minimal handling.
Q2: Can TK Freight manage both ends of an intermodal shipment?
Correct. From first-mile pickup to rail coordination and final-mile delivery, TK Freight offers true door-to-door intermodal solutions. We oversee each handoff, ensuring your freight stays on schedule and on track.
Q3: Is intermodal shipping slower than truckload?
While rail may take slightly longer over certain distances, our optimized scheduling and strategic partnerships keep transit times competitive. For longer hauls, the cost savings and reduced carbon footprint often outweigh a few extra hours.
