Intermodal freight transport is an alternative to trucking to distribute large volumes of goods. The article presents the solution of the problem of tactical planning and choice of transportation options. When using railway freight consignors take into account the traffic capacity. Trucking is used for short distances for transportation to intermodal terminals or direct supplies to customers. The study provides an analysis of trucking and intermodal transport in relation to cargo consolidation and cost of services on a model basis. The approach is applied to the industrial distribution system of the region.
