You're the quarterback of the freight move.

Bring that perspective to the table at Intermodal EXPO 2026.

Join us for a dedicated morning for 3PLs and IMCs — a VIP breakfast and a strategic working session on how our segment grows intermodal market share and strengthens shipper confidence.

 

Why your seat at this table matters
Your companies often serve as the quarterback of the freight move — coordinating across railroads, motor carriers, equipment providers, terminals, schedules, data, and customer expectations.

 

You help turn the complexity of intermodal into the truck-like service experience many BCOs are looking for:
•    One point of contact
•    Clearer communication
•    Greater confidence that freight is managed from origin to destination

 

This programming puts that value at the center of the conversation — and gives you a direct hand in shaping where intermodal goes next.
