Why Transloading is the Hidden Advantage in Supply Chains

When most people think of freight, they picture trucks crisscrossing highways. But behind the scenes, one service often makes the difference between supply chain bottlenecks and smooth delivery: transloading.

At RMT Companies, transloading is one of our specialties, and it’s a service that’s becoming more critical than ever.

What is Transloading?

Transloading is the process of moving freight from one mode of transportation to another say, from rail to truck. It gives shippers flexibility, lowers costs, and expands reach by connecting regional and national networks.

For RMT customers, this means more than just convenience. It means unlocking opportunities to move larger volumes of product efficiently through our Colorado hubs while still providing flexible trucking solutions for the “last mile.”

Why It Matters Now

With ongoing supply chain disruptions, rail congestion, and fluctuating truck capacity, transloading is no longer just an option, it’s a competitive advantage. It allows businesses to bypass bottlenecks, adapt to shifting demand, and ultimately deliver products faster.

At our Golden, CO location, RMT recently completed its first rail-to-truck transloads, proving how this service can streamline supply chains while opening new possibilities for our clients.

RMT’s Advantage

What sets RMT apart is not just our ability to handle transloads, it’s the personalized service and local expertise we bring to every load. Our team knows the Colorado and Rocky Mountain corridors better than anyone, and we combine that knowledge with the reliability of our trucking operations to create end-to-end solutions.

At RMT, we’re not just moving freight, we’re helping businesses move forward.
