For intermodal marketing companies (IMCs), the greatest method to stay ahead of the curve is by rapidly increasing the volume of freight that they handle. This also means scaling the business through revenue growth and keeping costs down. To succeed, brokers will still need to prove that they can continue providing valuable service for their customer, the shipper, by securing rail space and drayage capacity for intermodal shipments.

Companies looking to scale their IMC operation will need to take on more freight without taking on too much extra cost, such as hiring additional employees. But how are they going to handle the extra volume without additional personnel? They still need to find truck capacity for the intermodal dray moves, get all of the documentation in order for each load and update the customer when deliveries have been made. How would they even find the time to get new business when they’re saddled with all of the day-to-day responsibilities of the current operations?

When it comes to the drayage side of intermodal transportation, the solution for IMCs is here.
