Intermodal
RAILMEETS ROAD.
Rail for the long haul, trucks at both ends, on the lanes where it saves. Send us the lane and AFL books the rail and the vetted drayage, dock to dock.
Dock to DockWhy AFL for Intermodal
Rail efficiency. Truck flexibility.
One plan, dock to dock.
- Rail and drayage in one plan
- Lane savings modeled first
- Lower emissions per ton-mile
- Vetted rail and drayage carriers
- Proactive updates
On long, steady lanes intermodal typically runs 10 to 25 percent below truckload, with about 75 percent lower emissions per ton-mile on the rail leg. On a short or rush lane, AFL arranges it as Full Truckload.
