Standard trucking comes with challenges, from weather to traffic. Rail-to-truck transloading combines the reliability and large load capacity of rail with the fast service and delivery options of trucking.
How does rail to truck transloading work?
Here are the five transloading steps:
Depending on the size and characteristics of your freight, a variety of methods can be used to unload it from rail to truck. Here at Roy Corp we have cranes and equipment standing by to handle your freight.
What are the benefits of rail shipping?
Cost Savings
Shipping freight by truck over long distances is much more expensive than rail. Trains use three times less fuel than trucks, so it’s best to cover the longest leg by rail and transload to truck for local delivery.
Reliable Service
Rail shipments don’t face bad weather or traffic to the same degree, and rail companies run on schedules that keep a constant flow of freight moving.
Large Load Capacity
A railcar can carry around 220,000 pounds of freight, about the same as three to four truckloads, so large quantities move without multiple trucks.
