Intermodal transportation refers to using multiple modes of transportation—such as rail, truck, and ship—to move goods from origin to destination.
Managing intermodal deliveries requires precise coordination and logistics expertise, as you must fully understand schedules and transitions between different transportation modes to ensure timely arrivals.
For businesses with little or no experience with intermodal transportation, it's best to contact a 3PL provider for immediate support. At 18 Wheels Warehousing & Trucking, we provide comprehensive intermodal services tailored to your needs and handle all coordination efforts so you can focus on your core business activities.

Our Intermodal Process Means Less Worry For Your Business
Our intermodal transportation process is designed to maximize efficiency and security for your shipments.
We begin by assessing your cargo's specific requirements, determining the optimal combination of transportation modes. Goods are then loaded into standardized containers at our Toronto facility, ensuring secure and seamless transfers between trucks, trains, and ships.
Throughout the journey, our advanced tracking systems provide real-time updates, allowing you to monitor your shipment's progress. Upon arrival at the destination, we coordinate the final delivery, ensuring timely and efficient unloading.
Key steps in our intermodal process include:
- Cargo Assessment: Evaluating shipment details to determine the best transportation modes.
- Containerization: Loading goods into standardized containers for secure movement.
- Mode Integration: Coordinating transfers between trucks, trains, and ships.
- Real-Time Tracking: Monitoring shipments throughout the journey.
- Final Delivery Coordination: Ensuring efficient unloading at the destination.
