Intermodal Services and Logistics
Door-to-door intermodal combines the efficiency of rail with the flexibility of truck to offer reliable capacity at a savings of 10-15% compared to over-the-road options. At InTek, intermodal is our specialty. We partner with all Class 1 railroads and dray carriers across North America to offer unmatched service, wherever you ship.

Small box domestic intermodal
