The secret is out - intermodal is growing faster than any individual mode of transportation
of which it is composed. Why? Because intermodal combines the best qualities of
truck, railroad and sea transportation to deliver truly differentiated service and
savings to shippers. Yet, for most chemical companies, intermodal can also mean
added complexity and additional concerns over safety, environmental issues and reliability.
With our experience in transportation logistics, combined with highly specialized
insights into the chemical industry, ChemLogix takes the mystery out of intermodal
transportation - enabling our chemical customers to take full advantage of its benefits.
At a tactical level, we specialize in door-to-door domestic and international transportation
services for bulk ISO tank ( tank specifications 
) and dry containerized freight.
Our Packaged Freight Intermodal provides trucking service from the shipper’s plant
to the origin rail, origin rail to the destination ramp and from the destination
rail to the consignee – with comprehensive tracking and monitoring, and all on a
single Bill-of-Lading. This includes our Container On Flat Car (COFC) service, which
offers up to a 40% cost advantage when compared to domestic tank truck or dry van
transportation of hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals, waste and food grade products
where destinations of over 700 miles are required.
Not Just Packaged Freight
Our established partnership with Union Pacific/BulkTainer® enables customers to
deliver bulk liquid shipments door-to-door with the simplicity of a single invoice
and multi-modal bulk transportation. ChemLogix/BulkTainer service is substantially
less expensive than long haul tank truck, while reducing the associated environmental
and safety risks. Combining the convenience of a tank truck and the economy of rail
transportation, our bulk liquid intermodal provides fast and easy service.
