Intermodal Transportation
Intermodal trucking keeps your freight on track.
Think you know intermodal? Used to move freight long distances by rail, Schneider intermodal transportation offers you truck-like reliability built around your business — reducing pickup to arrival transit time by 10%.
As an asset-based provider, we use our own reliable tractors, lightweight chassis and containers and drivers to keep your freight on track at an added 20% capacity.
Intermodal shipping is right for you if:
- Your freight is shipped in full 53' truckload containers.
- Your shipments go to and from metro areas or across borders.
- Your shipments travel 300 miles or more.
- Security of the shipments is critical.
