A great source of additional capacity Regulatory / environmental programs impact on OTR capacity 150K + 53’ intermodal containers in the N.A. market Your competition is selling intermodal The railroads’ largest customers are motor carriers Sooner or later your customer will ask you about intermodal Intermodal can lower your customer’s transportation costs Price advantage on most intermodal lanes vs. OTR pricing Improved service reliability and continued transit time improvements SmartWay Transport Partnership/Lower carbon footprint

Many intermodal service products have slower transit than OTR, however some service is similar to single driver transit Blocking and Bracing is extremely important. As the train is moving forward, it is also swaying side to side. If there are any “voids” in the load, you run the risk of a load shift and/or product damage. Rails are not responsible for damages due to improper blocking and bracing Intermodal Service Differences
