Transloading Service
What is Transloading?
Transloading is the process of transferring goods from one mode of transportation to another. This is often done when the most efficient way to ship goods is to use a combination of transportation modes. For example, goods are shipped by the Minnesota Commercial Railway to one of our transloading facilities, where they are then transferred to trucks for final delivery.

Transloading can offer a number of benefits, including:
- Reduced Costs: Transloading can help to reduce shipping costs by eliminating the need to ship goods all the way to their final destination using a single mode of transportation.
- Improved Efficiency: Transloading can help to improve efficiency by reducing the time it takes to ship goods.
- Increased Flexibility: Transloading can help to increase flexibility by allowing shippers to use a variety of transportation modes.
If you are considering transloading, there are a few things you should keep in mind:
- The cost of transloading: The cost of transloading will vary depending on the size and weight of the goods being shipped, as well as the distance they are being shipped.
- The time required for transloading: Transloading can take some time, so you need to factor this into your shipping schedule. We help to shorten that time for you and your customers.
- The availability of transloading facilities: Not all areas have transloading facilities, so you need to make sure there is one available in the area where you will be shipping your goods.
If you are looking for a way to reduce shipping costs, improve efficiency, and increase flexibility, Rail Transloading may be a good option for you.
