Intermodal solutions that keep freight flowing
Smarter Shipping in Motion
Shipping smarter means knowing when to switch lanes. Summit’s Intermodal service blends the long-range efficiency of rail with the flexibility of trucking to move freight further, faster, and more cost-effectively. With hands-on coordination and real-time tracking, we simplify routes and keep your supply chain running like clockwork.
Intermodal shipping is ideal for freight that doesn’t need to move overnight but still demands dependable timing and cost control. By leveraging the long-haul power of rail and the flexibility of trucking, we create a sustainable solution that delivers without compromise. Our team handles the planning, routing, and transitions, so you get the benefits of multi-mode shipping without the complexity.
From Rail
Rail is the backbone of long-distance freight. It offers consistent schedules, cost savings, and a lower environmental footprint, making it ideal for high-volume shipments that don’t require same-day delivery. Summit taps into an established rail network to move freight across the country with stability and scale.
to Road
Once your freight reaches its rail destination, we handle the final leg with precision. Our trucking network takes over to complete deliveries quickly and efficiently, ensuring your cargo gets exactly where it needs to go, no delays, no gaps. It’s an efficient handoff, managed by a team that’s done it thousands of times.
