Choose the right perspective
Match the person's setting to yours, since running a railroad's intermodal terminals differs from running a port's rail operations or a trucking company's drayage network. Also decide whether your question is mainly about day-to-day terminal work, network planning and equipment, or service to shippers, and pick someone whose roles centered on that.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you keep a ramp fluid when train arrivals, gate volume and drayage capacity fall out of balance?
- 02Which daily metrics do you watch to catch dwell, chassis or container shortages before customers feel them?
- 03How do you split responsibility between railroad, terminal operator and drayage carrier when service fails?
