What is transloading?
Combining the Best of Truck & Train Shipping
3T transload service moves products from over-the-road trucks to rail cars, or vice versa. This allows shippers and receivers to combine the economic advantages of rail with the flexibility of over-the-road trucking.
An entrepreneurial solution to issues of location & volume
A single rail car can carry the contents of three to four (or more) truckloads – and trains are four times more fuel efficient than trucks. These efficiencies are passed on to your transportation costs, allowing you to ship higher volumes & heavier loads, while spending less. However most shipper – or receivers – don’t have tracks at their door. With transloading, it doesn’t matter – transloading combines cost effective rail transport with the flexibility & ease of over-the-road trucking.
3T Transloading offers the ECONOMIC advantages of SHIPPING BY rail even when your facility is not rail-served.
Genesee Valley Transportation offers transloading services giving you the best of both worlds, combining economical rail transport with the flexibility of over-the-road trucking.
