Tighter truck capacity and elevated diesel prices are creating an opening for intermodal to win highway share. In this Talking Transports podcast, Intermodal Association of North America President &amp; CEO Anne Reinke joins Bloomberg Intelligence’s Lee Klaskow to discuss why regulatory enforcement is constraining truck supply and improving rail’s value proposition. Intermodal has about 14% share of its 500-mile-plus sweet spot, leaving substantial room for conversion. Reinke says keeping that freight when trucking loosens will require reliability, visibility and resilience. They also discuss Mexico cross-border growth, drayage, AI, cargo theft, rail consolidation and why elevated diesel could keep intermodal booming into 2027.<br>See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
