At TD International Shipping, we combine the strengths of both rail and truck to move freight efficiently and reliably. This method allows cargo to seamlessly shift between modes of transport, making it a smart choice for long-distance and large-volume shipments.

Moving a vehicle between states shouldn’t feel complicated. At TD International Shipping, we offer state-to-state vehicle transportation services through our reliable network of partners. Whether you’re shipping from door to port or port to door, we ensure your vehicle is transported safely and efficiently to its destination.

How Intermodal Transportation Works

• Truck Pickup
  A truck collects the cargo from the shipper’s location and delivers it to the nearest intermodal rail terminal.
• Rail Transport
  The freight is loaded onto a train—typically in standardized containers—for the long-haul portion of the journey.
• Final Truck Delivery
  Once the train arrives at the destination terminal, a local truck completes the final delivery to the recipient.

This process leverages the strengths of both transport modes:

• Rail
  Ideal for long-distance moves, rail is cost-effective, fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly.
• Truck
  Offers essential flexibility for first-mile pickup and last-mile delivery, ensuring door-to-door service.

Why Choose Intermodal Transportation?

• Cost Savings
  Rail is often more affordable than long-haul trucking for long-distance shipments.
• Fuel Efficiency and Sustainability
  Trains move more freight using less fuel, reducing overall emissions.
• Increased Capacity
  Rail can handle larger volumes, helping ease highway congestion.
• Reliability and Safety
  Minimizes delays and risks associated with road transport and traffic-related issues.
