Southern Executive Transport provides intermodal transportation support for clients requiring coordinated freight movement across multiple transportation modes, including truck, rail, and port operations.
Intermodal transportation allows freight to move efficiently over long distances while remaining in the same container, reducing handling, improving cost control, and supporting flexible routing. SET manages the trucking and coordination components that connect rail ramps, ports, warehouses, distribution centers, and final delivery locations.
Intermodal transportation is the movement of freight using two or more modes of transportation such as truck, rail, and ocean while keeping the cargo in the same container or trailer throughout the journey.
Freight is transferred between modes without being unloaded, allowing shipments to move efficiently over long distances while reducing handling, transit costs, and roadway congestion. Intermodal transportation is commonly used for containerized freight moving between ports, rail terminals, warehouses, and distribution centers.
This approach is often selected for long-haul freight, port-related shipments, and projects that benefit from cost efficiency and flexible routing options.
In addition to intermodal transportation services, Southern Executive Transport supports freight movement beyond individual handoffs by providing integrated logistics coordination across port, rail, and over-the-road transportation.
We align intermodal moves with linehaul transportation, transloading when required, and site or facility delivery. This integrated approach reduces delays, limits fragmented handoffs, and ensures freight continues moving efficiently from port or rail environments to its destination.
