Our intermodal transportation services integrate seamlessly with dry van freight services and drayage logistics solutions to optimize your supply chain.

What Is Intermodal Transportation?

Intermodal transportation, refers to freight transportation as the use of two or more shipping methods within a single, seamless journey. Most of the time, the cargo is loaded onto a standardized area or trailer to process or reload the cargo itself. This reduces the risk of loss, lowers the efficiency fees and significantly improves the transport process.

Unlike traditional single-mode transportation, intermodal and multimodal transport delivery combines the strengths of transportation communities to have each. The drayage trucks will provide a first mile closure mile combination. Shipping companies transport international freight on a large scale. Nexon Transport integrates everything under one roof.

The result? A smarter, leaner logistics version that makes your shipment arrive on time, every time.

Our Core Intermodal Freight Services

Intermodal Rail + Drayage

The backbone of our intermodal freight transport offering. We coordinate container loading at origin, arrange rail transport across long-haul corridors, and manage drayage pickup and delivery at both ends. This combination is typically 10–40% more cost-effective than full over-the-road trucking for distances over 500 miles — without sacrificing reliability.

Truck Transportation

For time-critical or short-haul freight where rail is not the optimal solution, our truck transportation services provide direct, point-to-point delivery with flexible scheduling. Our fleet includes dry van, flatbed, refrigerated, and specialized equipment to handle virtually any cargo type.

Supply Chain Transportation Planning

A large freight movement begins with remarkable planning. Our supply chain transportation experts examine your modern logistics, identify inefficiencies, and create custom management models that reduce step charges with freight, improve on-time shipping rates, and build resilience to market disruptions.

Whether you are transitioning from full truckload to intermodal, expanding into new markets, or rebuilding your supply chain after a disruption, Nexon has the information to expertise the process from method to execution.

The Nexon Advantage: Intermodal vs. Full Truckload

Many shippers preside over full truckload (FTL) by familiarity. But for most long-distance freight, intermodal freight offers an attractive boon that affects your bottom line without delays:

• Cost savings-  Truck freight is primarily cheaper in terms of miles than freight trains traveling 500+ miles and when mixed with green dredging at each end, intermode often provides a 15–30% cost discount compared to FTL.

• Capacity reliability - Lack of truck motivating force and perceived market volatility can go a long way toward FTL shippers scrambling for capacity in worst-case scenarios. Intermodal rail capacity is more solid, providing you with consistent access to freight even when the trucking market is tight.

• Environmental sustainability - Rail produces significantly lower carbon emissions associated with tons of miles than trucks. For companies with an ESG commitment or desire for sustainability, intermodal is a greener logistics option and increasingly, an advantage for customers and peers alike.

• Freight Security — Because intermodal boxes are sealed and handled robotically as opposed to manual operation, the risk of theft, damage, and contamination is greatly reduced compared to multi-contact trucking.

• Predict travel times — Train schedules are regular and the site is largely immune to visitor congestion and crew time restrictions that can stall OTR shipments. Nexon's real-time tracking gives you complete visibility at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Intermodal Freight Transport

What is the difference between intermodal and multimodal transport?
The most important objective difference between intermodal and multimodal transport lies in the contractual obligation. Intermodal freight generally involves a pair of companies, each responsible for their share of the journey under separate contracts. Multiple distribution puts a single service or brokerage — like Nexon — in charge of the entire movement under one contract, simplifying accountability and coordination for the shipper.
How do I know if an intermodal is right for my freight? 
Intermodal is generally the best option for shipments moving 500 miles or more, non-time-critical delivery with 1–3 day transit flexibility, and high-detail shippers trying to reduce constant unit co-freight charges. Our team can analyze your current freight data and recommend whether intermodal, FTL, LTL, or a hybrid approach delivers the best value for your lanes.
What types of freight can move intermodal? 
Most dry goods, packaged consumer products, industrial goods, and retail goods are quite well suited for intermodal containers. Nexon also offers temperature-controlled special intermediate options for perishables, chemicals and oversized cargo.
How does Nexon handle freight near port locations? 
As an experienced freight transport near port provider,, Nexon handles complete drayage and port freight services, including terminal assignment, chassis integration, customs documentation and last-mile transportation from port to warehouse or between delivery. 
Can I track my intermodal shipment in real time? 
Indeed. With Nexon Transportation, every shipment is tracked through our visibility platform, which gives you real-time field updates, milestone information, and a digital schedule to enter each step of the journey.
