Intermodal

Efficient Supply Chain solution for long haul lanes.

Intermodal is the most efficient transportation mode on longer haul routes and ShipZephyr can optimize your supply chain to take advantage of the cost savings and reduced carbon footprint that intermodal options provide.

Intermodal combines first and last mile trucking with a long haul rail portion to safely and efficiently move your freight via rail for the majority of the trip. Intermodal is around four times more efficient than truck and generally sees a cost savings of 10-20% on routes longer than 500 miles.
