Your Intermodal Experts

Transporting containers to and from the U.S.'s many port and rail facilities takes an extra level of care. At GTI, we’re committed to paying close attention to your specific needs and your cargo.

To ensure your shipment gets to its final destination safely and on time, our intermodal team follows a carefully laid out procedure:

• Ensure the containers have been unladed, cleared customs and are ready for pick up; it is essential for all holds to be released before the container is ready for pickup.
• Understand the contents of the container. Heavier containers may need a tri-axle chassis. Out-of-gauge, open top and flat racks may require permits. Hazmat loads have special paperwork requirements.
• Ensure the driver has all the qualifications necessary to handle the load. Qualifications may include Hazmat certifications. All of our operating unit Jetco's professional drivers have their TWIC cards, which are needed to enter any port property. For Foxconn Logistics, our pre-vetting process helps ensure our third-party carriers have the necessary certifications to handle the containers assigned.

For intermodal loads, don’t forget to:

• Include the “Last Free Day” with your delivery order
• Provide the name of the steamship line
• Provide a copy of the bill of lading
• Ensure the booking number is correct
• Have an IMP on file with the steamship line and port for Hazmat loads
• Ensure the booking contains the correct containers size
• Include the cargo dimensions on all out-of-gauge loads (flat racks, open tops)

From retail freight to refrigerated goods, GTI's operating units, Jetco and Foxconn Logistics, have the experience, proven processes and cutting-edge technology to ensure clients' containers are smoothly and safely transported to and from ports, railyards and facilities, and clients receive real-time updates, GPS tracking and communication about their containers' status.

To further expedite pulling and dropping your containers, Jetco uses Port Houston's Express Pass, a program that allows trucking companies to initiate trucker transactions prior to arriving to the container terminals. Jetco President Kyle Kristynik spoke to Port Houston in 2024 about how Jetco's professional drivers have leveraged the system for 5+ years, which has streamlined operations and improved scheduling accuracy.
