Truckload vs. LTL vs. Intermodal: When (and How) to Use Each Mode

January 8, 2022

Truckload, LTL and Intermodal are the most common modes of surface transportation — every shipper with truckload freight in their supply chain should have at least some blend of these other two modes.

Though similar, there are important differences between each mode that every supply chain should understand for optimal success. Join these Coyote experts as they outline what to expect when shipping OTR, a few pallets, or over the rail.

Presenters:

Sara McQuilkin, VP of Sales (Coyote Logistics)
