Maximize Savings with Strategic Intermodal Freight
Streamlined Intermodal Shipping.
Intermodal shipping is the optimal, strategic solution for long-haul freight, combining the cost efficiency of rail shipping with the flexibility of trucking. HighQ Logistics provides seamless door-to-door Intermodal services across North America. We leverage strong partnerships with major Class I railroads and our extensive drayage network to provide a reliable full truckload alternative that secures capacity and promotes green logistics.
- Cost Optimization & Reduced Fuel Surcharges.
- Intermodal shipping is highly effective for reducing overall transportation costs on shipments over 700 miles. By shifting the long-haul portion of your journey to fuel-efficient rail, we mitigate the impact of fluctuating fuel surcharges and optimize your shipping budget.
- Secure Rail Capacity & Network Stability
- Minimize exposure to over-the-road (OTR) truck shortages. As an integrated 3PL, we ensure access to stable, year-round rail capacity and 53-foot domestic containers, offering a highly dependable solution that provides reliability regardless of trucking market fluctuations.
- Green Logistics & Carbon Reduction
- Rail transportation is significantly more fuel-efficient than traditional trucking. Utilizing our Intermodal program is a key step in fulfilling your company's sustainability goals and actively reducing your overall carbon footprint through shared, optimized assets.
- End-to-End Coordination & Single Point of Contact
- We provide a single point of contact to manage the entire multimodal chain—from local drayage moves to and from the rail ramp to line-haul rail transport. Our coordinated logistics ensure your freight arrives safely, minimizing hand-offs and maximizing supply chain efficiency.
