Transloading
Rail, air, road — one stop between modes.
Container-to-trailer and intermodal transfers that leverage Huntsville's unique convergence of rail, air, and road freight. Whether you're moving inbound ocean containers, aerospace air cargo, or domestic intermodal boxes — we get the freight off the rails, out of the container, and onto the trailer.
Why Huntsville for transloading —
The Port of Huntsville's International Intermodal Center — with 33,745 rail lifts in 2024 (up 22.3% YoY) and direct Norfolk Southern main line access — makes Huntsville a natural transloading hub. Combined with a 21st-in-the-nation ranking for international air cargo volume and FTZ #83 designation, Huntsville offers mode-agnostic logistics that inland markets can't match.
