About Intermodal Trucking

Intermodal drayage involves hauling containers between rail yards, ports, and distribution centers. Short-haul but high-frequency work, concentrated around major rail hubs and port cities.

Intermodal Market in the Northeast

The Northeast dry van market benefits from high-density consumer demand along the I-95 corridor. Port-driven import freight from Newark and Baltimore keeps capacity tight, especially during peak retail seasons. Tolls on the NJ Turnpike and I-95 cut into margins, but shorter average haul distances mean more loads per week. Owner-operators who master the congestion patterns and delivery windows can consistently outperform national averages.
