At R&R Global, we manage every segment of the journey to ensure seamless handoffs, reduced delays, and maximum reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions About Intermodal Shipping
What types of freight work best for intermodal shipping?
Dry goods, consumer packaged goods, building materials, and non-time-sensitive cargo are well-suited for intermodal transport.
Is intermodal more affordable than full truckload?
Often, yes. Especially on long-haul lanes, it can cut costs while maintaining efficiency.
How long does intermodal shipping take?
Transit times vary, but intermodal typically adds 1–2 days over truckload. The cost savings and reliability often offset this.
Do I need to coordinate the transfers?
No — R&R Global handles all mode transitions, appointments, and dispatching for a hands-off experience.
Can I track my intermodal shipments in real-time?
Absolutely. We provide tracking from pickup to delivery, across all modes involved.
Does intermodal help with sustainability goals?
Yes — rail is significantly more fuel-efficient than trucking alone, reducing your overall carbon footprint.
Is intermodal available nationwide?
We cover major U.S. rail corridors and partner with trusted carriers for smooth truck-rail-truck handoffs.
Can intermodal be used for refrigerated freight?
Intermodal is typically best for dry cargo, but we offer reefer options through select rail providers. Contact us for specifics.

Hear Why Logistics Managers Trust R&R
-
I began working with R&R Global Logistics about 3 years ago, when I was at InterWrap Corp. Their attention to detail and performance caught my attention with the first load, and continued to increase. Our broker, Jade, was very helpful during the acquisition of InterWrap Corp by Owens Corning by making sure all loads given to her were handled with care. At my new position, R&R Global was the first carrier that I brought on. This was solely based on the relationship that was created with Jade. She is always professional, always helpful, and I can trust her.

No matter how late, she is always there for me to answer my questions about my quotes or updates on my freight. I would highly recommend R&R Global Logistics for all of your logistic needs.
