Transloading is a term that means to transfer of goods from one mode of transportation to another en route to their destination. Long-haul shipments often involve multiple shipping companies, modes of transportation, or even both. It has become a standard method for shipping goods in recent years, due to increased international trade and the rise of e-commerce.

The main benefits of transloading can include:

• Supply Chain Versatility: Your customers can be in diverse and remote locations. Transloading offers more options on how the shipment can reach the destination by allowing you to pick the best method based on available transportation routes. This means that you are no longer limited to just one mode of transportation.
• Lower Overall Costs: Fuel and transportation costs can be better optimized. For example, using rail service for part of the route can significantly lower fuel costs as rail cars use four times less fuel than just using only vehicles. Switching to vehicle transportation, such as our trucks, can then offer fast and efficient delivery.
• Freight Consolidation: Warehouses that offer transloading also allow freight to be consolidated, which can provide additional savings.
