Intermodal - Railroad Shipping

Intermodal, or “rail” shipping is a service that should be looked at with any shipment going over the road in a dry van trailer. Special Service Transportation is able to offer intermodal service through our brokerage division and offer the same top notch service with excellent pricing and availability. Many people do not look into intermodal shipping because they have never used it before and do not understand its benefits. Contrary to popular thinking, shipping on the railroads is one of the safest and cost effective ways to ship. Your freight is not on the road at risk of traffic or accidents, and it is being streamlined across the country with no other stops along the way. Where it may take a day or two longer to arrive in cross country shipments, the cost savings is well worth that delay. On shipments going shorter distances, often times there is no delay in transit time!
