Smarter Shipping: Truck + Rail Solutions

Leverage the power of intermodal transportation for cost-effective, reliable, and sustainable long-distance freight. Are rising fuel costs making your long-haul shipments unprofitable?

How Intermodal Shipping Works

A seamless multimodal journey from Fontana to the nation.

Local Drayage

We pick up the container from your facility via our specialized terminal tractors.

Rail Ramp

We transport it to the nearby Fontana rail terminal for immediate loading.

Long-Haul by Rail

The container travels efficiently across the country via the class I rail network.

Final Delivery

A destination truck delivers the container to its final address door-to-door.

The Key Benefits of Going Intermodal

Significant Cost Savings

Rail is far more fuel-efficient for long distances, delivering up to 30% savings over OTR trucking.

Sustainability

Reduce your carbon footprint. Trains move one ton of freight over 400 miles on a single gallon of fuel.

Predictable Schedules

Rail networks operate on fixed schedules, ensuring your logistics flow remains consistent and reliable.

Enhanced Security

Containers remain sealed from origin to destination, minimizing handling risk and theft exposure.

Is Intermodal Right for Your Freight?

Optimizing your transportation budget starts with identifying the right freight for multimodal logistics.

  • Shipments traveling over 750 miles.
  • Freight that is not extremely time-sensitive.
  • Companies looking to reduce environmental impact.
  • Dense, heavy freight that fits standard containers.
