Drayage trucking's vital role - from IANA EXPO

Railroad is likely the first form of transportation that comes to mind when considering intermodal, but trucks play a vital role in getting freight delivered door-to-door. Drayage trucking takes the spotlight on the last of our episodes of The Intermodal Logistics Podcast recorded at IANA's Intermodal EXPO, as we welcome Kevin Lhotak, President of Reliable Transportation Specialists (RTSI).

Kevin tells us about his company's lengthy dray history, the areas of the country it covers and the key role of drayage in the intermodal journey to connect origin and destination - as well as points in between - to long-haul rail. He explains the importance of independent contractors to drive dray providers like his, how his company has adjusted to a shifting marketplace, and how valuable in-person interactions from events like EXPO are to doing business.
