The appealing part about this article is that intermodal transport can save on shipping costs. As a man in the shipping industry, that is very valuable to a firm. If they can ship more product for a lower price, they'll definitely choose that route. Lowering their costs is what they're all about after all. http://www.berryandsmith.com/about_us.html
