Intermodal

Intermodal, is one of the top supply chain trends impacting the transportation industry today; Northern Logistics has you covered. Intermodal has gained popularity recently because of its budget-friendly and environmentally-friendly nature. Northern’s vast network of intermodal carriers can give you the assurance that either a local or national option is always available. Shifting 25% of the truckload freight to railways by 2025 would result in 2.8 billion fewer hours spent in commuter traffic, 18 billion gallons of fuel saved, and 800,000 fewer tons of air pollution. Intermodal can complement all the other ways you are moving your freight daily, without sacrificing service!

Blending rail and over the road options works best when you are dealing in high volume shipments through longer shipping lanes. Lastly, when trucks are hard to come by, the railways might be wide open; often allowing for identical or faster transit times. Our specialist at Northern have the experience to effectively search these options, and best place your freight for Intermodal shipping without sacrificing timing.
