Road-Rail Intermodal Freight to Mexico, the USA & Canada

Latin American Cargo’s intermodal transportation solutions help customers who are looking to reduce costs when shipping their cargo by ground. Our team of experts work hand in hand with the best intermodal carriers in the industry offering multimodal services throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Our door to door intermodal rail services are only handled with class 1 railroad companies such as BNSF Railway, Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway, CSX Transportation, Ferromex among others.

International Intermodal transportation is an alternative method to traditional over the road transportation, using two modes of transport: trucking and railroad.
After the cargo is picked up at origin, a dray carrier delivers the loaded trailer (also known as Intermodal Transport Units or UTI) to the rail station where it will be loaded on the train using an intermodal ramp. The long-haul portion of the shipment is done by railroad transportation until reaching the rail station at destination where the trailer is transferred again from rail to truck; then, a dray carrier will continue with the final delivery.

Our Trailer on Flat Car offers the same advantages of over the road door to door trucking but at a much lesser cost due to the fuel efficiency of the railroad transportation. TOFC shipping does not confront the same difficulties as conventional trucking does, such as driving time restrictions, weather conditions, accidents, heavy traffic, over the road construction and weighing stations.
