Intermodal Team
Other key positions are on the Intermodal team. Intermodal loads are containers or trailers that are transferred to rail from another mode of transportation, usually from a truck or ship. Our Intermodal employees work in hubs, operating cranes, directing crane movements using signals or transporting containers to and from the tracks using hostler trucks within the facility.
