Containers / Intermodal
Multi-modal transportation combining rail and road for maximum efficiency. Move more, spend less, and reduce your carbon footprint.
The smart way to move freight long distance
Intermodal transport combines the flexibility of road transport with the efficiency of rail for long distances. Safex manages the entire container movement — port or depot pickup, land transport, rail connection, and final delivery. Ideal for high-volume coast-to-coast or cross-border shipments.
How it works
Simple, reliable process
Plan Your Shipment
Provide cargo details, origin, and destination. We determine if intermodal is the best option — typically optimal for 500+ mile lanes.
Container & Drayage
We arrange container pickup or loading, then dray to the nearest intermodal ramp or rail terminal.
Rail Transit
Your container travels by rail on the long-haul leg. We track progress and coordinate with rail partners throughout.
Last-Mile Delivery
At the destination ramp, our truck picks up the container and delivers to the final destination. Complete door-to-door service.
