Where the trucks fit in an intermodal yard At an intermodal terminal, hostlers bring containers trackside or to the storage area.
That trackside shuttle is the work the railroad wants Venti’s trucks to take on, Wyle said.
The company’s Oct. 1 release says the trucks will load, move, and unload containers during live yard operations with nobody in the cab and no dedicated lanes.
At PSA Singapore, those trucks work beside about 1,200 human-driven trucks, according to the Oct. 1 release.
Rebuilding the intermodal yard The larger payoff, Wyle said, is predictability.
