Residential Shipping to Bridgewater, (MA)

Small businesses face the challenge when transporting their goods to retailers, distributors, or customers across the country. The common modes of transport, including trucks, rails, and ships, are unnecessarily extensive and costly for small businesses. They often sell large products with lighter weights, and standard transportation doesn’t provide efficient solutions.

Less-than-truckload (LTL) freight is a targeted service that solves the challenge of small businesses needing to reduce their transportation cost while offering larger trucks for their light in weight products.

This article dives deep into Less-Than-Truckload Freight and discusses everything you need to know about it.

Transporters use different modes of freight transport to keep the costs low and deliver the goods from the shipper to the consignee in the most efficient way. One mode of freight transport is Intermodal Freight Transport. This is when the goods are transported in an intermodal container allowing the transporters to change transportation mediums between trucks, ships, and trains without handling the freight itself.

Intermodal freight transport protects goods from damage and fastens the delivery by saving the time between container changes. Let's take a deeper look into Intermodal Freight Transport.

Intermodal freight transportation is referred to the movement of freight by the use of numerous modes of transportation (such as ships, trucks, and trains) in a single intermodal container or vehicle.

Through the intermodal freight delivery method, the items are protected from harm, and the delivery is expedited. Moving or transporting products from a shipper to a consignee by truck and rail is a standard delivery method for many customers.
