Intermodal Drayage Services in New Jersey

Intermodal drayage services cover the short-distance movement of shipping containers between ports, rail ramps, warehouses, distribution centers, and final delivery points. In New Jersey, that often means coordinating container pickup, chassis availability, appointment timing, and inland delivery around busy terminal schedules. Sims Global Solutions combines drayage coordination with intermodal, truckload, warehousing, and tracking support for smoother freight execution.

Intermodal shipping uses multiple transportation modes, such as rail and truck, to move freight efficiently over longer distances. Drayage is the truck portion that connects the container to or from a port, rail yard, warehouse, or receiver. For New Jersey shippers, drayage is often the critical first or final mile that keeps international and domestic container freight on schedule.

Most drayage moves begin with shipment details such as container number, pickup terminal, destination, appointment requirements, weight, commodity, and delivery deadline. The carrier then coordinates terminal access, container pickup, chassis needs, route planning, and delivery. Sims Global Solutions supports this process with carrier capacity, dedicated logistics coordination, and real-time shipment visibility through SimsTrak.
