Why Tighe?

Why Choose Tighe Logistics for Intermodal Freight?

Intermodal freight isn’t just about combining rail and trucking—it’s about making your long-haul strategy more reliable, cost-effective, and flexible. At Tighe, we bring it all together with precision, control, and service that goes beyond the shipment.

Seamless Mode-to-Mode Transfers

We deliver secure intermodal freight services that combine trucking and rail without unloading your freight. This reduces cargo handling, lowers damage risk, and ensures faster, safer transitions across the supply chain.

Direct Access to Rail Networks

Our locations are strategically connected to key intermodal rail freight lines. That means fewer delays, shorter drayage distances, and smoother shipping freight by rail across regional and national routes.

Flexible Truck and Rail Solutions

From long-haul intermodal freight transport to regional trucking connections, we tailor solutions to your needs. Whether recurring shipments or one-time moves, we provide adaptable intermodal logistics with consistent performance.

Lower Costs with Higher Efficiency

By integrating truck and rail, we help businesses reduce fuel use and total freight spend. Intermodal transportation is a cost-effective option that balances budget, transit speed, and environmental impact.

Real-Time Visibility Across Modes

Our integrated tracking tools provide real-time updates across intermodal shipping legs. From truck pickup to rail transit and final delivery, we keep you informed every step of the way.
