An intermodal terminal is a freight transfer point where containers move between transportation modes, most often rail and truck. The terminal supports container handoff, chassis coordination, appointment scheduling, and drayage movement to or from the customer’s facility. For shippers, it can reduce long-haul trucking miles while keeping pickup, delivery, and tracking coordinated through one transportation plan.
