Rail transportation incorporates the use of rail companies, rail freight companies and rail trucking. It is a transportation service that uses multiple modes of shipping from origin to destination, without any handling of freight itself while changing modes of transportation. It is a very effective and best mode of shipping as it utilizes special containers which allow commodities to be moved directly from one mode of transportation to another without having to be repackaged. As the rail rates are always cheaper than other transportation methods it the most effective & cost saving means of transportation.

- Through this means you are guaranteed that you goods will directly go from rail freight into trucks without any off-loading in between.
- MPT Logistics combines the best attributes of both rail and trucks to provide timely and cost effective rail shipping
