Did you know that 1 freight train takes as many as 280 trucks off the the nations highways?

Shipping freight Intermodal is the freight shipping service that most excites us at Worldwide Shipping Integration! Although this mode of transportation has been available for some time it has become even more relevent to companies seeking to improve their overall shipping and delivery network while reducing costs with the added benefit of becoming a better corporate citizen of the United States. Many of the advances in technology in recent years have been possible by an increase in private investment in rail line access and maintenance.

The door to door intermodal option significantly reduces carbon emissions over the most fuel efficient tractors on our roads today! It is typical for emissions to be reduced by as much as 30 - 40% per trip by choosing intermodal transportation where ever possible. As matter of fact Worldwide Shipping Integration so strongly believes in this form of freight shipping that we have joined the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) SmartWay Transportation Community and Climate Leaders Member in promoting the use of clean energy when transporting freight around the United States.

So, if this is not enough to look into using intermodal instead of automatically thinking truckload, we list the following benefits for further consideration:

• Flexibility
  All available container sizes to fit your shipment configuration
• Value
  Cost is significantly less than trucking by using drayage and rail
• Technology
  Real time status updates. Total visibility of a shipment's progress
• Reliability
  Transit times are comparable to truckload services through modern rail networks and drayage fleets
