Intermodal freight is considered a transportation best practice and developing trend.  Shippers are looking for freight savings with near-truck like service levels.  This is a great option, but please keep in mind that the shipping environment is a bit more severe using rail service.  That is why you need to understand the forces involved and develop a low cost load plan to counteract these forces and ship safely in compliance with AAR regulations.  PPL Services is here to help you explore this "in fashion" trend.
