How it runs
How a rail freight shipment is handled
Four stages, each owned by the same coordinator, so nothing is handed between companies while your cargo waits.
01
Is rail the right leg?
Rail wins on long trunk routes where road cost or transit reliability becomes a problem. We compare the door-to-door time and cost against road before recommending it.
02
ICD and rake planning
Movement is planned against the inland container depot and rake schedule that suits your origin, with first-mile road feeding it.
03
Documentation and clearance
Where the movement is part of an export, documentation and customs run in parallel so the container is not waiting on paperwork at the ICD.
04
Last mile and delivery
Road handles the final leg from the destination terminal, keeping the whole movement under one contract and one coordinator.
Why Cargoking
Why businesses choose Cargoking for rail freight
Rail is the most under-used leg in Indian logistics. On long domestic routes it is frequently cheaper and more predictable than road, and for containerised export cargo it connects inland production directly to the port.
As a licensed Multimodal Transport Operator we can contract rail together with road and the ocean leg under a single transport document, which means one liability and one party answering for the whole movement instead of three.
The planning matters more than the rate. Rake schedules, ICD capacity and the cut-off at the load port all have to line up, and that is the work we do before quoting rather than after booking.

Generally on long trunk routes where fuel, tolls and driver hours make road expensive, and where the schedule can absorb fixed rake timings. We compare both before recommending one.
Yes, and it is a common pattern: rail from an inland container depot to the port, then ocean carriage, all under a single multimodal transport document issued under our MTO licence.
We do. Road legs at both ends are arranged as part of the same contract, so you are not left coordinating three separate providers around a rake schedule.
