Multi Modal Service

Trains, Planes, Ships, and Trucks: Multi modal Freight Services:

When one mode of transportation does not meet your needs, it’s time to go multi modal. Indeed, sometimes the most economical way to transport your goods either within Canada or across the globe is to use a combination of air, ocean, rail, or road transportation.

Under a multi modal freight contract with Saybolt Express, you’re assured that your cargo will travel seamlessly from its origin to its final destination.

Why Use Multi modal Freight?

Despite the fact that multi modal freight transportation can use a number of different transport modes, it offers some attractive benefits for shippers, with speed and affordability being two of the most important advantages.

Cost Benefits: The cost savings involved in multi modal freight shipping depend on the situation, but consider a scenario in which you regularly ship goods over long distances within North America. Many shippers would automatically opt for truck freight, especially for door-to-door deliveries.

Speed Benefits: Multi modal freight can also be a great way to ship goods that need international delivery within a tight timescale, at a cost much lower than would be incurred using air freight. Again, much depends on the circumstances, but we may be able to help you combine the services of a budget air-freight carrier with rail and road services to get your shipments delivered quickly at a reasonable cost.
