Canadian Intermodal Logistics

Connect rail transportation with the rest of your supply chain

Intermodal transportation combines the long-distance efficiency of rail with the flexibility of truck transportation. For suitable containerized shipments, rail can be an effective way to move freight between major Canadian markets while local drayage completes the first and last portions of the journey.

JKN Logistics Inc. helps coordinate these transportation stages so your freight can move from origin to rail terminal, through the rail network and onward to a warehouse, distribution centre or final commercial destination.

One connected transportation workflow

Instead of treating rail, drayage and warehousing as separate movements, we help coordinate the connections between them based on your shipment requirements.
