The fastest-growing method of domestic shipping is undoubtedly intermodal transportation. When it comes to intermodal transport, trucking and rail are used in tandem to move goods, with trucks picking up and delivering the goods at both ends, while the long journey is carried out by train.
Many people have incorrectly assumed that intermodal transportation is more expensive, slower, and more prone to damage than other modes of transportation.
Here are some common intermodal misconceptions:
Transporting small-sized packages is fairly simple and easy. All you have to do is drop the item off at your preferred courier company and wait for it to reach its destination. That simple! But it’s when you have to ship large items such as furniture and fragile goods such as television sets that it becomes a problem. Cost is higher for large goods but courier companies have limitations on the weights and sizes of items that they can deliver.

As the name suggests, LTL or less-than-truckload shipping means that the freight carried by truck in this method of transport is less as compated to a full truckload. This is ideal for small businesses and those that don’t have large volumes of merchandise but still require shipping and transport. Many small businesses benefit from this method of road transport.
