Intermodal freight brokerage coordinates the movement of freight using more than one transportation mode, typically rail for the long haul and drayage trucks for pickup and delivery. A broker manages carrier selection, container or chassis needs, routing, dispatch communication, tracking, and issue resolution so shippers get a single accountable team instead of managing multiple providers separately.
