Intermodal Freight to Mitchell, (IN)

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:

Online orders are on the rise, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic 80 percent of all businesses went online. Due to this reason, shipments and delivery services were in great demand. With the click of a button, anything and everything was delivered to you at home. Business owners who also had to shut down their shops due to the pandemic were able to go online and resume working via online deliveries.

Thanks to tracking technologies, shippers can trace their freight at every stage of their trip. When using a TMS (transportation management system), you can have access to tracking and tracing capabilities. 

Using this technology, you can monitor transportation costs, carrier performance, and market trends as you manage your supply chain. Supply chain management relies heavily on tracking shipments.
