A chassis that carries ocean shipping containers between ports, rail yards, and warehouses — the trucking leg of freight that also travels by ship or rail.
Intermodal drayage is the short trucking leg of a shipment that spends most of its journey on a ship or train — a chassis picks up an ocean or rail container at a port or rail yard and moves it to a warehouse or another rail ramp, rather than hauling freight point-to-point over long distances. Drivers in this segment deal with port and rail yard appointment systems and container/chassis availability as much as they deal with the actual driving.
