How intermodal container services work
Intermodal freight transport uses containers and multiple modes of transportation to move cargo without handling the products inside. A typical door to door intermodal shipment starts and ends with dray trucks, with trains handling the long-haul. While multiple carriers are involved, working with InTek makes the experience seamless.
Benefit from an extensive intermodal network
You may be surprised at the broad reach of domestic intermodal centers. In fact, the map offers lanes for the vast majority of shippers’ needs. But without the right partner, navigating U.S. intermodal logistics can be complex.
At InTek, we'll make domestic intermodal work for your business with the most reliable solutions across freight types, and the best intermodal rates.
Temp Controlled Intermodal Service
Refrigerated intermodal allows shippers who need temperature controlled freight to take advantage of the cost and emissions savings railroads offer. Our container on flatcar (COFC) reefer intermodal solutions keep food, beverage, pharmaceutical and other temperature-sensitive cargo safe from spoilage.
Domestic Intermodal Using 40’ & 45’ Ocean (ISO) Containers
Did you know that beyond traditional intermodal containers, steamship lines offer incentives to reposition (repo) their ISO ocean boxes? We know the ins and outs of ocean container intermodal. Work with us and save.
Transloading
While traditional intermodal keeps freight in containers throughout, inventory flexibility, port container challenges, cross border shipping and other import & export scenarios require other solutions. Our transloading options make flexibility a breeze, arranging inland movements via road, rail or both.
