Follow these strategies to help ensure your intermodal shipments move\u00a0as cost-effectively and efficiently as possible.\n\"More shippers could take\u00a0advantage of rail intermodal,\u00a0as traffic has fallen recently.\u00a0U.S. rail intermodal traffic for the first\u00a0eight months of 2023 was 8.3 million\u00a0intermodal units, down about 9.2% from\u00a02022, the Association of American Railroads\u00a0(AAR) reports.\u00a0Yet in 2022, U.S. rail intermodal volume\u00a0accounted for approximately 27% of revenue\u00a0for major U.S. railroads, more than any other\u00a0rail traffic segment.\u00a0One driver behind the drop is lower\u00a0demand, as companies correct after having\u00a0expanded their inventory levels during the\u00a0recent supply chain disruptions.
