Intermodal transportation has become a topic of great interest in the transportation industry becaue of the opportunties it provides, especially financially. However, few trucking companies provide both over-the-road (OTR) trucking services and intermodal services. The reason for this may lie in the fact that there are few tools available to determine the benefits of operating both modes. Another reason may be that many companies are not large enough to be involved economically in both modes of transportation. Suspicion exists that, by integrating over-the-road and intermodal operations, greater operational flexibility, better balance, lower cost, and better customer service may be achieved over the use of the single modes independently.
