Rail Shipment
Rail, also known as Intermodal shipments represent a very
cost effective mode of shipping commodities in truckload
which are not necessarily time sensitive. Intermodal is
simply putting the Van trailer or Container on a rail car
and moving by train. Some ocean containers can be shipped
cross country to avoid the cost of transloading. Intermodal
shipments move via the nation's railroads and GJB can
provide options for you to consider. Although shipping by
rail can be less expensive than trucking, rail typically has
a longer time in transit. Rail is the preferred mode for
those shippers looking for the absolute cheapest way to move
a long distance shipment, and is more concerned about cost
than delivery time.
