Intermodal freight service is an essential part of any shipper's choice plan if they transport full freight truckloads. Intermodal shipping increases capacity, contributes to environmental efforts, and saves transportation costs.
This article provides a brief overview of the intermodal freight service for a beginner.
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.
A truck driver must know the type of freight they are transporting and whether that freight is interstate or intrastate. It can be hard to differentiate between the two types of freight, but we're here to help!
Intrastate and interstate significantly impact the types of loads you can transport and the equipment you need. Even though it's easier to start by only hauling intrastate, you'll have fewer options for loads and, as a result, less money to spend.
Most independent owner-operators and small fleets should begin with an interstate trucking company because it gives them more options and improves their success.
