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.
