Intermodal transportation offers many benefits to shippers and society in general, and intermodal movements have grown rapidly over the past 20 years; however, it still represents a very small portion of the total freight market. Thus, the benefits to shippers and society are not being fully realized. Many shippers who use truck transportation assume that service times of intermodal movements would prohibit their use of it, and shippers who use rail service often assume that transportation costs of intermodal would prohibit its use; however, few shippers actually base their mode selection on a total cost basis. The purpose of this study was to examine the role that intermodal transportation plays in today's logistics environment and to assess its potential for further growth and adoption by examining the potential for intermodal service based on total logistics costs.
