As market conditions continue to shift, shippers must take a proactive approach to intermodal transportation. A well-planned intermodal strategy can help balance cost-effectiveness, capacity diversification, and sustainability, reducing risk and increasing long-term resilience.

Join our experts as we explore:

How intermodal can improve cost efficiency while supporting carbon reduction goals

Why capacity diversification is critical when market conditions change

How technology and outsourcing can simplify carrier management, ensure consistency, and help prevent capacity disruptions

Whether you manage logistics in-house or work with a provider, having intermodal in your routing strategy is more important than ever. Don’t miss the opportunity to strengthen your supply chain in 2025 and beyond.

Webinar Objectives:

Shippers should take a deliberate approach to intermodal strategy, focusing on three key factors: carbon footprint, cost-effectiveness, and capacity diversification.

Whether you manage logistics in-house or work with a Managed Transportation Provider, market conditions will continue to cycle. When cost is no longer the priority and capacity becomes the main challenge, excluding rail from your routing guide could put your business at risk.

Shippers are often understaffed in logistics, making it essential to leverage technology and business process outsourcing to simplify carrier management, ensure consistency, drive continuous improvement, and reduce the risk of a capacity crisis.
