It is no surprise that skyrocketing fuel prices combined with driver shortages, increased highway congestion, CSA 2010 regulations, and stringent 'Hours of Service' regulations have made intermodal 'Piggyback' transportation a more attractive to long haul shippers. Intermodal transportation combines the efficiencies of boxcar transportation with the efficiencies of truckload transportation for moves of 600 miles or more. Intermodal may be ideal for inbound raw materials, plant to plant transfers, plant to distribution center moves, and literally anything that can move by truck.
