Modes of Transportation
Modes of transport include dry van, LTL (Less Than Truckload), truckload, parcel, air, rail, and specialty equipment such as conestoga, curtainside, hot shots, goosenecks, and similar. Each mode serves specific freight needs, with dry van and truckload catering to larger shipments, LTL for smaller loads, and parcel for individual packages. Specialty equipment like conestoga and curtainside offer unique solutions for specific cargo types, while air and rail provide alternative methods for urgent freight transport.
Less-than-Truckload
If your shipment isn't large enough for a full truckload, consider our network of regional and national less-than-truckload carriers for a cost-effective solution.
TLI combines customers spend for leveraged pricing, ensuring reduced shipping costs without compromising on service quality.
Partial TL
If your shipment falls between less than truckload (LTL) and a full truckload, we can assist in securing space on a volume LTL or build a partial truckload.
This cost-effective solution ensures you only pay for the space your shipment occupies on the trailer.
Dry Van Freight
TLI collaborates with thousands of trusted truckload carriers, monitored through technology and TIA WatchDog programs. Benefit from contracted pricing for high-volume shipments or opt for spot market rates in the truckload sector.
Temperature Controlled
Ensure the safety of your perishable goods with our reliable temperature-controlled freight services. Make use of our network of refrigerated truckload carriers, dual-temp truckload carriers, or safeguard against freezing with our specialized services.
Flatbed Freight
For large or uniquely shaped cargo, choose a dedicated flatbed carrier for your freight routing. Our network of flatbed carriers ensures you secure reliable equipment capable of handling any load, including specialty trailers like Conestoga, Step-Deck, Curtain side, hot shot, and more.
Intermodal Rail
Opt for our intermodal rail network, offering an efficient and cost-effective alternative to conventional over-the-road trucking. Through the integration of rail and OTR trucking, we transport your freight across long distances, minimizing your carbon footprint.
