Moving Intermodal Freight in Dallas, Texas
Intermodal Loads for Owner Operators in Dallas
For anyone unfamiliar with intermodal freight transport, it refers to the transportation of freight from the rail or port to its next destination. Drivers are usually either picking up an empty container from a rail yard and using that to get loaded with cargo at a shipper or picking up a loaded container from the rail to get unloaded at the consignee.
In the Dallas/Fort Worth area these intermodal drayage loads are typically originating out of the rails including the Union Pacific Dallas Intermodal Terminal (Wilmer), BNSF Alliance, UP Mesquite and KCS Wylie. Intermodal loads are shorter than what you would see in over-the-road trucking, so carriers can expect to stay local with these runs.
