More Flexibility Across the Miles.
LandCal helps businesses move freight efficiently across long distances by coordinating intermodal transportation solutions that combine the strengths of multiple modes into one managed strategy.
A Smarter Transportation Strategy Starts With More Options.
Not every shipment should move the same way.
As transportation networks grow more complex, relying too heavily on a single mode can create unnecessary cost, capacity constraints, and operational risk.
Intermodal transportation gives businesses another option.
LandCal helps evaluate where intermodal fits within your transportation strategy and manages the moving pieces so you can take advantage of greater flexibility without adding complexity to your operation.
Intermodal Solutions Built Around Your Network
Strategic Mode Selection
We evaluate your lanes, freight requirements, timelines, and priorities to determine where intermodal transportation makes sense.
Expanded Capacity
Access additional transportation options that can help reduce dependence on a single source of capacity.
Coordinated Execution
Multiple modes shouldn't mean multiple headaches. LandCal helps coordinate the transportation process from origin through final delivery.
End-to-End Visibility
Maintain insight into your freight as it moves through different stages of the transportation network.
Our Approach
We believe long-term partnerships outperform transactional relationships. That means understanding how your business operates, communicating proactively, and taking ownership of every shipment, not simply booking freight and moving on.
Understand
Every shipment begins by understanding your freight requirements, delivery expectations, budget, and operational priorities.
Strategize
We identify the best carrier, routing, service level, and transportation strategy based on your specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Manage
From dispatch through delivery, our team monitors shipment progress, communicates proactively, resolves issues quickly, and provides complete visibility throughout the process.
Outcomes
- Improve on-time delivery performance
- Reduce administrative workload
- Increase shipment visibility
- Simplify carrier management
- Reduce transportation costs
- Improve communication across your organization
Built for Complex Transportation Networks
Intermodal can play an important role for businesses managing significant freight volume across longer distances.
LandCal helps customers evaluate intermodal solutions for:
- Recurring long-haul lanes
High-volume transportation networks - Multi-location distribution
- Inbound and outbound freight programs
- Capacity-constrained lanes
- Cost-sensitive transportation
- Supply chain diversification
- Growing transportation networks
- The objective isn't to use intermodal simply because it's available.
It's to determine where it can make the overall transportation network stronger.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is intermodal transportation?
Intermodal transportation uses more than one mode to move freight through its journey. LandCal helps customers evaluate and coordinate intermodal solutions as part of their broader transportation strategy.
When does intermodal make sense?
The right fit depends on factors including lane, shipment volume, transit requirements, freight characteristics, capacity, and cost objectives. Our team evaluates those factors before recommending an approach.
Can LandCal manage recurring intermodal lanes?
Yes. Intermodal can be incorporated into recurring transportation programs when it aligns with the customer's network and service requirements.
Will I have visibility when my freight changes transportation modes?
LandCal's role is to help provide continuity throughout the transportation process, including communication and visibility as freight moves through the network.
Can LandCal help determine whether we should shift truckload freight to intermodal?
Yes. Rather than recommending a mode in isolation, we can evaluate your transportation requirements and help determine where different modes may fit within the larger network.
