As part of our commitment to customers and communities we serve, Tropical Shipping strives to deliver the best competitive transportation value. Due to the increasing cost of Intermodal expenses related to numerous factors including a nationwide driver shortage, congestion at terminal and rail ramps, and the U.S. federal mandate for implementation of ELD (Electronic Log Data), our ability to sustain and invest in the services you have come to expect has been impacted.
In order to continue providing the highest quality, on-time shipping services, Tropical Shipping will implement an Intermodal Rate Increase for all Intermodal shipments effective March 25, 2018.
