Intermodal Transport In response to the need for just-in-time door-to-door deliveries, both buyers and sellers are increasingly relying on intermodal transit operators to transport goods from origin to destination while assuming the liability and delivery time responsibilities, regardless of whether the goods travel under single or multiple carriers or modes of transport.
