Detailed explanation-2: -Multimodal transportation or multimodal shipping refers to logistics and freight processes that require multiple modes of transportation. For example, one shipment may involve rail carriers, air cargo freight, as well as a truck carrier. These are three modes of transport used in combination to complete a shipment.
