As if shipping with trailers wasn’t complicated enough, adding in multiple modes of transportation can be overwhelming. For your intermodal shipments, let Lipsey handle your freight from beginning to end. We have extensive relationships with Class 1 Railroads Providers, Major Freight Forwarders, Air & Ocean Carriers, and Port Terminals and will use these relationships to make sure your freight stays moving.
