Intermodal Freight Trucking

When using multiple forms of transportation (such as rail, ship, aeroplane, and truck), freight is carried in an integrated container or vehicle without being handled as it changes means of transit. The technique minimises cargo handling, which enhances security, lowers the risk of loss and damage, and speeds up freight transportation. The main advantage of using it across continents is the lower cost of road haulage. Reduced times for road travel over shorter distances could balance this.
