Your goal was to create a PowerPoint presentation that illustrates and concisely explains how you would use intermodal transport to do this. Guidelines provided were: 
Project Guidelines
•	Choose any product that may be shipped intermodally; however, if it is small, such as crab legs, you will need to use a carton, bushel, etc.
•	Research and plan how you would ship the product at least 500 miles.
•	Following all design rules for creating effective PowerPoint presentations, as outlined in the MS PowerPoint Basics tutorial linked in Activity 4.4, develop an illustrative and concise presentation composed of 13-15 slides that:
o	Introduces your product
o	Outlines the shipment process and procedures (Important Note: This project does NOT require you to actually ship any product.)
o	Answers or addresses the following:
	What is the best way (most economical) to ship your product?
	What forms of intermodal transportation did you use and why did you use them?
	Compare at least three different pricing strategies for your product.
	Select, or highlight, the pricing strategy best suited for the shipment of your product.
	Discuss how you determined the strategy for your intermodal shipment, being sure to include sources and references used in your research.
