Truck + Rail:
The Best of Both Worlds
Optimize costs and enhance supply chain resilience with our seamless intermodal freight solutions from Baltimore. We bridge the gap between regional speed and long-haul efficiency.
How Intermodal Hauling Works
Step 1: Drayage Pickup
A specialized Hamilton truck picks up your container directly from your facility, ensuring precision handling from the start.
Step 2: Rail Ramp
The container is seamlessly transferred to a high-capacity Baltimore rail terminal and secured for the long-haul segment.
Step 3: Line-Haul Rail
Your freight travels with maximum efficiency across nation-wide rail networks, bypassing highway congestion and driver shortages.
Step 4: Final Delivery
At the destination ramp, another regional truck team handles the final-mile drayage, delivering straight to the bay door.
Strategic Benefits
Cost Optimization
Rail is up to 4x more fuel-efficient than trucks for long distances, drastically lowering your total freight spend.
Sustainability
Lower your carbon footprint by 60% or more. A single train carries the load of hundreds of traditional semi-trucks.
Reliability
Maintain steady capacity even during seasonal surges. Our rail partnerships guarantee consistent schedules and space.
Nationwide Reach
From Baltimore to the Pacific Coast, we connect your business to every major inland port and domestic cargo market.
Ideal for Shipments Over 750 Miles
If you're regularly shipping freight long-distance—such as Baltimore to Chicago, Atlanta, or Dallas—intermodal is a powerful strategic option. It's best suited for dense, heavy, non-time-critical freight that can be easily containerized.
