As the year winds down, where does the intermodal market stand? And what should we expect heading into 2025, with a new administration and proposed tariff policies that could have a substantial effect on international trade? For those answers and more, we turn to the intermodalist himself, Larry Gross, President and Founder of Gross Transportation Consulting, for Episode 50 of InTek Freight & Logistics: The Podcast.
Larry goes inside the numbers to tell us how intermodal is doing today, how it compares over time, its stance against truckload, and the difference between inland point intermodal (thriving with port activity) & purely domestic intermodal. Plus, he shares his thoughts on the election's potential effects on the market in 2025, and how tariffs would likely shift the balance of intermodal activity.
Additionally, we talk cross-border intermodal, where Larry notes, the numbers disagree with both the activity of many businesses and anecdotal evidence of growing strength between the U.S. and Mexico.
