Efficient Global Intermodal Solutions

Intermodal

What Is Intermodal

Intermodal involves seamlessly integrating various transportation modes (including rail, truck, ship, or air) to facilitate the movement of goods from their point of origin to their final destination. By combining the agility of trucks with the flexible capacity of rail, TRT establishes a streamlined and interconnected transportation system.

This approach proves highly advantageous for transporting durable goods over long distances and supporting international trade, offering cost efficiencies, enhanced reliability, and reduced environmental footprint when compared to single-mode transportation solutions.

Intermodal Shipping Pallets “Sleds”

At TRT, we take pride in the several hundred proprietary pallets we had built and designed exclusively for our operations. Unique to TRT, these pallets are integral to our commitment to delivering exceptional logistics and transloading services, ensuring your goods are managed with precision and care. Our pallets are returned to our warehouse and used repeatedly, reducing dunnage and waste throughout the supply chain. They are engineered to efficiently move coils, tubes, pipes, bars, plates, ingots and any other form of metal. Their robust construction and ergonomic design ensure safe and effective handling of durable cargo, while the bright yellow color enhances visibility and safety in our busy environments.

TRT

Shipping Process

At our warehouse, we carefully build each intermodal load to assure compliance with TRT procedures and Class I railroad requirements. Shipments are strapped and banded on pallets, blocked and braced in containers, then shuttled to a local rail ramp for transport to the destination ramp. Upon arrival, containers are unloaded, and materials are delivered by truck to the final destination.

Why work
with us

I have been working with TRT for over 5 years. They have a wonderful crew and there is a great partnership. They handle and move our material by container to the West Coast along with storing some of our material in our warehouse. They do a wonderful job of keeping our material moving.
