Intermodal

Intermodal transportation uses two or more modes or carriers to transport freight from shipper to consignee.

THE INTERMODAL TRANSPORTATION PROCESS
A typical path for an intermodal freight transportation process is rail, truck, ship, truck. Truck transports between rail terminals and ocean ports are a specialized form of trucking referred to as drayage and are often handled by specialists.

An example of this process could look like this:

  1. A truck brings an empty container to a shipper
  2. The container is loaded with freight and taken to the rail yard by truck
  3. The container is put on a train and moved to its destination region
  4. The container is put on a truck, delivered to the consignee, and unloaded
  5. The container is ready for reuse with another load
