Transloading

Transloading is the process of transferring freight from one mode of transportation to another. It refers to physically moving goods from a truck, rail car, container, or any other form of transport onto another type of vehicle for shipment or storage.

Transloading can be used as an alternative way to increase efficiency in the supply chain by taking advantage of different types of carriers and their services. Distributing shipments over multiple modes helps reduce costs, improves transit times, and provides more efficient access to markets.
