Questions
Frequently asked.
What is the difference between intermodal and drayage?+
Intermodal is the long-haul rail portion of a move. Drayage is the short truck leg between the ramp or port and the dock. We handle both as one service.
Why use intermodal instead of straight truckload?+
On longer lanes, rail lowers cost and emissions while our trucks keep the first and last mile reliable. You capture the savings without the usual coordination headache.
Do you provide port drayage?+
Yes. We cover port and inland-ramp drayage and tie it into the rail leg under a single team and invoice.
