LAND – Gallagher Transport understands rail and truck transport. Utilizing rail or trucking services is a fundamental requirement of transportation, offering efficient and budget-friendly ways to transfer materials. For long-distance shipments, the cost of transporting goods by train may be cheaper than by truck due to the reduced fuel consumption of rail transport services. Trucking solutions include heavy haul trucking in the U.S. and other NAFTA countries, utilizing large vehicles for big loads over long distances, and less-than-truckload (LTL) freight when smaller shipments are needed with more frequent delivery. Often ground transport is required to take the cargo from its place of origin to the airport or seaport and then again from the port of entry to its final destination.
