Seeking the advantage
More freight can travel by rail carload than you might think. Specialized rail equipment comes in different sizes and shapes, specially designed to haul commodities like lumber, metal, agricultural products, and bulk or canned goods. A single piece of equipment can carry over 200,000 pounds of freight — equivalent to three truckloads — and it works best for dense, heavy freight that can be double stacked if palletized and that doesn’t require fast delivery. If your product meets this criteria, carload could be a highly attractive and economical alternative to truckload and intermodal service. Whether you’re rail-served or aren’t on the rail lines, you may be able to take advantage of this mode of transportation. Midwest Rail will work to determine if rail service is available to your growing company, so your company can take advantage this unrealized opportunity.
