Intermodal shipping, the transport of shipping containers and truck trailers through a system of trains, trucks, and ships, has a huge impact on the U.S. economy. A large percentage of our country’s goods and services rely on intermodal shipping. Freight rail is the heart of our country’s intermodal network, and the most efficient and cost-effective mode of transporting goods. Trains are implemented for the long-distance transport of domestic intermodal cargo, and trucks are used for pickup and delivery.
When transporting large shipping containers, it’s inevitable that things aren’t always going to go smoothly. Mishaps occur, and that’s when you need professionals who can help with handling overweight cargo, adjusting shifted loads, or repairing damaged equipment. Shipments involve several transfers; for example, a truck transports a container to a ship, the ship takes it to a port, and then it is transferred to another truck or a train car. During these transfers, accidents or shifting is more likely to occur.
