Rail & Intermodal
Whether your freight is traveling by rail or on a multimodal journey, or if you’re looking to track empty railcars, you need the most accurate predictive ETAs and highest-quality data for comprehensive end-to-end visibility.
Improve your operations and devote more resources to what matters most for your business. With end-to-end visibility for rail and intermodal shipments, shippers will see reduced requests for manual ETAs, streamlined processes, increased labor capacity, and the ability to manage and track empty railcars back to origin.
With more on-time deliveries, more accurate ETAs and ETDs, and automated communication on delayed railcars with end-to-end visibility — your customers will thank you!
Delays are costly, especially when they result in unnecessary fines and fees. FourKites automatically alerts you to loads at risk of accruing fines so you can take immediate action, and it provides actionable analytics to remove bottlenecks along your supply chain and prevent future delays.
Shifting more loads to intermodal is a strategy Cardinal Health is deploying to achieve its sustainability objectives. Did you know that an intermodal train can haul the equivalent of approximately 280 truckloads of freight, according to the US EPA?
