What are the advantages of rail freight logistics?
Rail is a great solution for pre-planned long-hauls, and moving from OTR to rail could benefit your supply chain in several ways. Guaranteed capacity, gas emissions, and the aging generation of drivers are the main issues many logistics professionals face. Using rail transportation for your freight can help solve some of these problems.

Who can ship by railcar?
Since railcars only travel on the steel tracks laid by the railroad, frequent railcar shippers and receivers have had tracks built into their facilities. If that sounds like you, you are a step ahead to shipping by railcar. If you do not currently have railroad tracks built into your facilities, don’t worry. It can be economical to truck cargo to a nearby transloading facility where your product would be unloaded from the trucks and loaded into the railcars. This adds costs, time and handling, but there are times where the savings in freight costs over truck are great enough that they off-set the transloading expense.
