WHAT IS MODAL-X?

Modal-X is a dynamically priced, door-to-door Intermodal product that targets transactional freight opportunities. Modal-X utilizes the strength of the Norfolk Southern Intermodal network and the operating efficiency of Thoroughbred Direct Intermodal Services (TDIS) in select lanes.

Each Day, NS and TDIS offer door-to-door Intermodal transportation for purchase via the internet by transportation companies looking for next day pick ups. The Intermodal ramp pairs are defined on the website, and customers can request transportation from and to any location. The rates posted are to service a 50 mile radius around the origin/destination ramp cities. If your actual origin or destination are outside of the 50 mile radius you will be advised about a possible surcharge to reach those markets.
