Land Freight
Reliable, flexible inland transport—combining rail and over-the-road solutions for seamless regional and cross-border deliveries.
What is Land Freight?
Land freight is the movement of cargo across countries and regions using trucks, rail networks, or a combination of both. It’s the go-to option for domestic and continental shipping—offering dependable lead times, flexible service levels, and scalable capacity for everything from a single pallet to full truckloads and intermodal containers.
To keep shipping simple, everything is coordinated end-to-end: planning, scheduling, documentation, visibility, terminal handling (when rail is involved), and final delivery—so you get the best route and service without managing multiple carriers or handoffs.
Land Freight Options We Manage
The most flexible option for door-to-door delivery—ideal for regional and national lanes, time-sensitive replenishment, and destinations without rail access.
A high-capacity, cost-smart solution for longer inland distances—great for heavier loads, bulk cargo, and intermodal lanes where predictability and efficiency matter.
The best of both: long-haul rail for efficiency plus trucking for pickup and final-mile delivery—optimized for cost, reliability, and network coverage.
How It Works
- Route & Service Planning — We match your shipment to the best mode (OTR, rail, or intermodal) based on timeline, budget, cargo type, and delivery requirements.
- Pickup & Origin Handling — We coordinate pickup, loading, and scheduling for smooth dispatch.
- Documentation & Compliance — We handle the required shipping paperwork and cross-border customs coordination when needed.
- Line-Haul Transport — Your freight moves across the inland network with tracking and milestone updates.
- Terminal Handling (If Rail/Intermodal) — We manage terminal transfers, unloading/loading, and release coordination.
- Final Delivery — We arrange delivery to the final destination, including appointments, dock scheduling, and special handling.
One coordinated workflow covers every handoff—so inland shipping stays simple, predictable, and fully managed.
Service Levels: LTL, FTL, and Rail Options
| Service Type | Typical Use | Best For | Key Advantage |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTL (Less-Than-Truckload) | Smaller shipments sharing trailer space | 1–6 pallets, cartons, partial loads | Cost-effective for smaller freight |
| FTL (Full Truckload) | Dedicated truck for one shipment | High-volume or time-sensitive moves | Faster transit and fewer touches |
| Rail / Intermodal | Rail line-haul with optional truck drayage | Long-distance inland, heavier freight, containers | Strong value and high capacity |
