Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Intermodal is the best of both worlds since its shipment characteristics are the combination of both rail and truck. The rail segment is the most efficient and sustainable method of shipping, while a truck provides the most flexibility because it is not tied to rail tracking and can go anywhere a road is available.
Detailed explanation-2: -In multimodal transportation, one contract covers the entire journey. One carrier takes sole responsibility and ensures door-to-door delivery is completed, even if other carriers are used in the journey. In intermodal transportation, there is a separate contract for each individual leg of the journey.
