Three Advantages of Cross-Country Freight Shipping
Cost-Effective for Bulk Shipments
Cross-country freight shipping can be economical for bulk shipments especially by rail or full truckload. Rail freight, in particular, is highly fuel-efficient reducing per-ton shipping costs.
Increases Intermodal Flexibility
Cross-country freight shipping increases intermodal flexibility, allowing shippers to utilize multiple modes of transportation depending on their various shipping needs.
Offers Security and Reduced Risk of Damage
Cross-country freight shipping offers security because freight carriers follow strict protocols for loading, handling, and track. If shipping via one mode, the freight is only handled during pickup and drop off, mitigating the risk of damage.
