🚛⏱️ The Real Cost of Dwell Time in Intermodal Freight

In logistics, every hour matters. When containers sit idle at rail yards or trucks wait at terminals, costs rise and efficiency drops. This “dwell time” creates a ripple effect:

💸 Higher operating costs from wasted fuel & labor

📦 Missed delivery windows and penalties

😡 Customer frustration from late shipments

🚂 Equipment imbalance across the supply chain

Why it matters now: Intermodal rail delays are growing, fueled by congestion, labor shortages, and infrastructure strain.

How ABI keeps freight moving:
✔ Real-time tracking & live updates
✔ Pre-pull & drop-and-hook container services
✔ Strong rail & terminal partnerships
✔ Texas-based hubs with national reach

Dwell time isn’t just a delay—it’s a liability. ABI’s proactive strategies cut delays, lower costs, and keep your freight on schedule.

🚛💰 Why Intermodal Shipping Can Be Cheaper Than Truckload 💰🚂

Looking to cut shipping costs without sacrificing reliability? Intermodal transport (think rail + drayage) might be your smartest move yet. Here’s why more businesses are making the switch:

✅ Fuel Savings – Trains are way more fuel-efficient than trucks. That means lower costs per mile.
✅ Scalable with COFC – Move more freight at once and share capacity = bulk shipping savings.
✅ Lower Labor Costs – Fewer drivers needed means less spent on wages.
✅ No Tolls, No Hassles – Rail avoids highway fees and surprise road costs.
✅ Fewer Delays – Trains stick to schedules and skip traffic, reducing late delivery penalties.
✅ Eco-Friendly = Financial Perks – Green shipping can lead to tax breaks and boost your brand.
✅ Flexible Drayage – Get the best of both worlds: efficient rail for long hauls, trucks for the last mile.

💼 Ready to rethink your shipping strategy?
Asset Based Intermodal can help you tap into the power of intermodal logistics and start saving today.
