Smarter Shipping Through Intermodal: Efficient, Sustainable, Cost-Effective Freight Movement
Move more with less, less fuel, less congestion, and fewer delays. Crowley’s intermodal transportation service combines the long-haul efficiency of rail with the flexibility of trucking, offering a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible way to move freight across the U.S.
By seamlessly integrating road and rail, we help your supply chain become more resilient, predictable, and aligned with your sustainability goals, without compromising on delivery precision.
What We Deliver:
Lower Carbon Footprint
Rail transport produces significantly fewer emissions per ton-mile compared to over-the-road trucking. Reduce your environmental impact without disrupting your operations.
Cost Efficiency at Scale
With capacity protection and consistent pricing models, intermodal is ideal for high-volume, long-haul freight, particularly as fuel and highway toll costs rise.
Reliable Transit Schedules
Leverage rail’s dependable schedules paired with Crowley’s smart drayage to ensure timely pick-up and delivery windows.
Scalable Capacity Year-Round
Avoid the volatility of truckload markets with access to scalable capacity, even during peak seasons.
Real-Time Tracking & Updates
End-to-end visibility through GPS tracking and centralized control tower monitoring ensures proactive updates and complete transparency.
Integrated Drayage Operations
We own and manage first-mile and final-mile drayage to reduce handoffs and maintain full accountability over your freight.
Equipment & Lanes
53’ domestic containers and 40’ high-cube options to suit a wide range of commodities and pallet configurations.
Service between major metro hubs and secondary markets coast-to-coast.
Access to Class I railroads and regional terminals across the U.S. through our integrated network.
Port and inland terminal drayage coverage with in-house chassis and driver management for reduced wait times.
Drayage Fuel Surcharge
