Advanced Security:
According to statistics, the theft of goods carried by railways is rare, because it is difficult for criminals to approach the train and unload the cargo on the train. In contrast, theft from trucks parked at rest stops is common, as it provides more opportunities for criminals.
Multimodal Capacity:
The containers and trailers used in our transportation services are compatible with rail and road, allowing for seamless multimodal transportation. This eliminates the need to unload and load at transfer points, as containers or trailers can be moved from train to truck as needed. In addition, CTI offers a choice of trailers or containers with parts, allowing for efficient transportation by using the cargo of other customers to transport your goods. Other environmental issues:
