TCB Transportation was formed twenty years ago with the purpose of treating all of our customers with the kind of service and dedication they deserve. Regardless of your company's size, we will handle and service your freight from pickup to delivery with daily tracing reports. We will tailor these reports to your needs, including the information necessary to keep you updated on your shipments ETA and current location. Behind your daily tracing reports is a dispatch assigned to your account. This dispatch will handle all of your loads for the entirety of your time with us and will always be available to answer your questions or concerns. We also take pride in rarely billing for accessorials so there are no hidden costs.

We are committed to being as eco-friendly as possible at TCB. A typical freight train is approximately four times more fuel-efficient than an over the road tractor trailer, and can carry the cargo of 280 trucks. By converting your freight business from truck to train, you will be taking hundreds of trucks off the road each year. The end result is a reduction in your company's carbon footprint.

Intermodal Savings

Saving money on your transportation expenses is a great way to increase profit margins. Shipping freight via rail is an excellent way to cut shipping costs. Almost any lane 600 miles or more can be moved intermodal. Transit times have also greatly decreased. Our service times have become extremely competitive with over road drivers, and in many lanes, we can deliver just as quickly. In our preferred lanes, TCB can beat dry van or flatbed costs by more than 50%. Rail is not affected by adverse weather conditions either. Give us the chance to prove that shipping via rail is the best way to go.

Still concerned?

There are nearly 140,000 miles of rail track in the US. Nearly 221,000 jobs are provided by the railroad, as well as many public benefits including reductions in road congestion, highway fatalities, and fuel consumptions. Because of the savings we provide, Intermodal transportation is booming, and TCB in particular handles over 10,000 Intermodal shipments annually. Join our commitment to a greener, brighter future. Trust TCB to move your freight.
