Import container flow
Clear containers from marine terminals quickly to avoid demurrage and per-diem charges.
Rail • Marine • Road
Intermodal Transport
Port-to-port and rail-to-road container chassis delivery that lowers cost and carbon on high-capacity lanes.
Service Overview & Operational Capability
Intermodal moves your container across the most efficient combination of marine, rail, and highway legs. We handle drayage from marine ports and rail ramps, manage chassis supply, and coordinate the highway leg so the container arrives at your door on schedule. Long-haul rail line-haul reduces fuel burn and emissions while highway drayage preserves door-to-door convenience.
- Port-to-door and ramp-to-door container drayage
- Chassis sourcing, positioning, and container repositioning
- Coordination with marine terminals and rail ramp appointment systems
- High-capacity shipping with a reduced carbon footprint per tonne-kilometre
- Live unload, drop-and-hook, and container storage options
Equipment & Technology Standards
Container work demands purpose-built chassis and disciplined equipment control.
- 20', 40', 45', and tri-axle chassis matched to container weight and provincial limits
- Pre-trip chassis inspection covering brakes, lighting, pins, and tires
- Real-time GPS tracking and container-level milestone visibility
- Digital interchange (EIR) records for every terminal in and out move
- Seal verification and photo documentation at pickup and delivery
Industry Standards & Regulatory Compliance
Terminal, rail, and highway authorities each impose their own rules — we operate to all of them.
- Provincial axle-weight and container-securement compliance
- Terminal access credentialing and appointment discipline
- Cross-border customs coordination for import and export containers
- Container seal-integrity and cargo-security protocols
- Drivers experienced in port and rail ramp operating procedures
Use Cases & Solutions

Our Process
Step-By-Step Logistics Process
- 01
Booking & Rate Confirmation
Dispatch captures your intermodal container requirements, commodity details, and delivery window, then issues a written rate confirmation the same business day.
- 02
Dispatch & Equipment Assignment
We assign the right trailer and a qualified driver, pre-trip inspect the unit, and plan the route around weight limits, hours of service, and weather.
- 03
In-Transit Monitoring
GPS telematics and driver check calls keep you informed at pickup, en route, and on approach, with proactive alerts if anything shifts.
- 04
Delivery & Proof of Delivery
Freight is unloaded to your receiver's protocol and a signed, time-stamped proof of delivery is returned to you electronically.
