Fastfrate Group delivers intermodal freight services built for long-haul efficiency, combining rail and truck to move freight faster, more consistently, and at a lower cost across North America.
Intermodal shipping combines the efficiency of rail with the flexibility of highway transportation to move freight reliably across long distances. Through integrated rail, drayage, and terminal operations, Fastfrate delivers scalable capacity, predictable transit, and cost-effective freight movement between major North American markets.
Intermodal transportation combines the long-haul efficiency of rail with the flexibility of truck transportation to create a more scalable and cost-effective freight solution. Fastfrate Group’s intermodal capabilities are designed to support high-volume freight movement across major North American markets while reducing highway congestion, improving fuel efficiency, and maintaining dependable transit performance.
Through a coordinated network of terminals, rail partnerships, and transportation infrastructure, we help businesses move freight efficiently across regional and long-haul lanes without sacrificing visibility, responsiveness, or operational control.
Our intermodal network leverages long-haul rail transportation to move freight efficiently between major markets across North America. This approach helps improve capacity, reduce fuel consumption, and maintain more consistent transit performance across extended lanes.
Drayage operations are coordinated within the broader transportation network to support faster container movement between rail terminals, ports, warehouses, and final destinations. By reducing unnecessary handoffs and delays, we help keep freight moving efficiently throughout the journey.
For time-sensitive freight, expedited intermodal services provide faster transit schedules while maintaining the efficiency advantages of rail. These solutions are designed to support customers who require dependable long-haul transportation without relying exclusively on over-the-road capacity.
Our intermodal network connects major Canadian markets with cross-border reach into the United States and Mexico. Facilities are strategically positioned to move freight efficiently between rail and road.
Consistent schedules and priority rail options provide reliable transit windows for long-haul shipments, reducing variability and improving planning accuracy.
Our 60+ year partnership with CPKC is the foundation of our intermodal network. With terminals located directly adjacent to rail yards—and in some cases connected by private access points—freight moves into and out of the rail system with minimal delay. This “across-the-fence” integration reduces handling time, improves reliability, and supports faster overall transit.
Our intermodal network is built to deliver consistent, high-volume freight movement—backed by long-term infrastructure investment and decades of operational expertise.
Intermodal shipping provides a strategic advantage for long-haul freight—balancing cost, capacity, and environmental efficiency.
Intermodal shipping moves freight in a single container using multiple modes of transport—typically truck and rail—without handling the cargo itself.
Intermodal is ideal for long-distance shipments where cost efficiency, capacity, and sustainability are priorities.
Standard intermodal can be slightly longer, but expedited services provide transit times that are competitive with over-the-road shipping.
Shipments are tracked throughout the journey with visibility across both rail and truck movements.
