The Case for Intermodal

Why Enterprise
Shippers Switch.

Over-the-road truckload is fast and flexible — but it's also the most expensive mode per mile. On lanes over 750 miles, intermodal consistently delivers meaningful savings without sacrificing transit time or visibility.

We handle the full move: origin dray to the ramp, rail transit, destination dray to your door. One call, one invoice, one tracking view. No orchestrating multiple parties yourself.

Significant Cost Reduction

Rail fuel efficiency and lower driver costs translate directly to your rate on long-haul lanes — consistently 15–25% under OTR spot pricing.

📍

Full Visibility, No Black Holes

Rail transit is fully tracked in Cabo TMS. Container location, ETA, and exception alerts throughout — same experience as truckload.

🌱

Sustainability Advantage

Rail emits up to 75% less CO₂ per ton-mile than trucking. For enterprise shippers with ESG commitments, intermodal helps hit Scope 3 targets.

📦

Capacity Stability

Rail capacity doesn't surge and crash with trucking market cycles. Intermodal programs provide more predictable availability and pricing year-round.

🔗

Single-Partner Simplicity

We coordinate origin dray, ramp check-in, rail transit, and destination dray under one agreement. No multi-party coordination on your end.
