The Path to Efficiency: How Intermodal Works

01. Drayage Pickup

A Roberts K9 truck picks up the container directly from your facility in the Jackson Metro area.

02. Ramp-Up

Our drivers deliver the container to a strategic rail ramp in Jackson or Memphis for transit.

03. Rail Transit

Freight travels via train, utilizing the efficiency of the iron highway for long-haul distances.

04. Ramp-Down

At the destination railhead, the container is expertly transferred back to our regional truck assets.

05. Final delivery

The final mile is completed by a local truck, ensuring door-to-door precision and security.

Strategic Advantages

Significant Cost Reduction

Perfect for logistics routes over 750 miles. Save up to 15-20% compared to traditional OTR shipping.

Enhanced Sustainability

One train can move the equivalent of 280 trucks. Lower your corporate carbon footprint effectively.

Increased Security

Fixed rail paths and specialized loading procedures mean less handling and higher cargo protection.

Reliable Capacity

Bypass the volatility of the driver market. Gain consistent access to high-volume rail networks year-round.

Is Intermodal a Good Fit for Your Freight?

Does your shipment travel more than 750 miles?
Is your freight suited for a standard 53' container?
Is your delivery window flexible (not extremely time-critical)?
Is your cargo's origin and destination within 100 miles of a major rail ramp?

The Critical First and Last Mile

Our local expertise in Jackson and partnerships in destination cities ensure efficient and timely drayage—the crucial truck transport to and from the railheads. At Roberts K9, we understand that the strength of an intermodal chain is only as good as its connections. We manage the entire drayage process so you don't have to deal with multiple carriers or hand-off delays.
