Key Terms
intermodaltechnical
Intermodal is the movement of freight using two or more types of transportation—for example truck, rail and ship—while the cargo stays in the same container as it changes modes. Investors watch intermodal capacity and costs because it can lower shipping expenses, speed delivery, reduce damage and emissions, and increase supply‑chain reliability, all of which affect a company's margins and competitiveness—like a well‑timed relay handoff.
transloadingtechnical
Transloading is the process of moving goods from one form of transport to another—for example, from a freight train to a truck—at an intermediate facility instead of shipping everything on a single carrier. Think of it like switching buses during a long trip to reach a destination not served by one route; for investors, transloading matters because it can lower shipping costs, speed delivery, reduce supply disruptions, and influence a company’s inventory and logistics expenses.
