Comparison of
transportation modes
 Speed
 Distance
 Cost
Speed
Truck: approximately 50 miles (or 80 kilometers) per hour over the highway for up to 500
miles (800 kilometers)
Train: approximately 30 miles (or 50 kilometers) per hour over almost any distance.
Air: upwards of 200 miles (or 320 kilometers) per hour for distances of more than 500 miles
(800 kilometers), including ground operations.
Distance
Truck: up to 500 miles (800 kilometers) is the ideal distance, but there are still advantages
over the other modes up to 750 miles (1200 kilometers).
Train: for distances of more than 750 miles intermodal has some speed advantages, but the
average distance for intermodal is somewhere around 1,700 miles.
Air: at least 500 miles (800 kilometers) but typically more than 2000 miles.
Cost
Truck: current rates are highly variable, but $1.50 per mile is a reasonable starting value for
a TL shipment
Rail: intermodal freight shipments are typically much cheaper than TL and a common rule of
thumb is about 60-80% of the price of a TL shipment.
Air: typically we consider air freight to be about 6 to 8 times more expensive than truck.
