The benefits of transloading

The benefits of using transloading services range from supply chain versatility to lowered logistics and transportation costs, and freight consolidation. Ultimately, it can help businesses overcome common logistical challenges and streamline their shipping operations.  

1. Enables supply chain versatility: Since there are multiple modes of transportation involved, it’s possible to get our goods delivered in different ways. It also has almost unending capacity and cross-border reach, to handle more freight shipping as your business expands. This adds to the flexibility that you can leverage.

2. Lowers costs: You can use the modes of transport that are most economical to get your goods from point A to B. For example, if you are able to use rail cars for the majority of the route, your fuel costs are lowered significantly. Once the goods have reached the region where they’ll be stored and shipped, shippers can then use trucks for the remaining route, making transportation faster and more cost effective.

3. Promotes freight consolidation: If you have a lot of freight situated in different locations, but the end destination is the same then you may transport all of it in fewer rail cars. You can send the trucks from each location to transload facilities along the rail line and freight can be consolidated into the same rail car as it moves closer to the destination.

4. Overcome logistics challenges: Whether there is a lack of direct shipping routes or limited road access along the transport route, transloading can offer a way to still deliver the goods using multiple modes of transport.
