Tariffs are back in the headlines—and for shippers, that often means uncertainty. Whether it’s fluctuating import duties, retaliatory measures, or shifting trade policies, these external pressures can make it harder to plan and budget. That’s where a trusted partner like Taylor Distributing makes a difference.

As a full-service transportation provider based in Cincinnati, Taylor offers flexible, cost-effective solutions designed to help shippers adapt quickly—without compromising service or efficiency.

A Smarter Intermodal Strategy

One of the most powerful tools in mitigating tariff-related costs is intermodal transportation. By leveraging the rail network for long-haul segments and combining it with drayage and truckload support, Taylor reduces fuel consumption and offers a more economical option for domestic freight.

We operate with close proximity to key rail terminals in Cincinnati and maintain relationships that keep our customers’ freight moving—even during tight capacity cycles or volume surges sparked by tariff deadlines.

Whether you’re moving food, beverages, industrial materials, or consumer goods, Taylor’s fleet is ready to support your network with scheduled runs, custom routing, and drivers who know your business.
