The transportation landscape is constantly shifting, and with the latest tariffs adding pressure to supply chains, businesses are facing tough decisions. Navigating these challenges requires smart, adaptable solutions. That’s where intermodal transportation comes in – a flexible, cost-effective and sustainable option that can help you stay competitive.
The Impact of Tariffs on Supply Chains
Tariffs create volatility. They can drive up the cost of goods, complicate routing decisions and lead to uncertainty. In this ever-evolving environment, relying solely on traditional truckload shipping may not be the most strategic choice. Companies need alternatives that provide stability, efficiency and cost savings.
Why Intermodal is a Smart Alternative
Intermodal shipping blends the strengths of both rail and truck transportation. By leveraging rail networks for long-haul moves and trucks for first-and last-mile delivery, companies can reduce costs, lower emissions and secure consistent capacity. Here’s how Werner’s intermodal solutions stand out:
