    How about definitions regarding different truck types, or route types? I'm learning bit by bit - I now understand intermodal refers to cargo from trains and ships right?

    Containers come on a ship or rail. Intermodal if I'm not mistaken are the actual trailers either dry or refrigerated and flatbed that you see on trains. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on this.
