Thoroughbred Direct Intermodal Services

Transportation costs are rising and you still need to keep that competitive advantage in the market, a way to distinguish your business from your competition. Let Thoroughbred Direct Intermodal Services help you achieve your goals!

Thoroughbred Direct Intermodal Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Norfolk Southern Railroad, is in its fourth decade of providing transportation solutions to third-party logistics companies, brokers and trucking companies.

TDIS originated as a primary transportation provider for the USPS bulk mail operations. Servicing the needs of the USPS, TDIS has acquired the skills to meet time-sensitive deadlines, on time arrivals, transcontinental needs and high-profile shipments. That is why TDIS was developed with the concept; no matter what your customers ship, transportation must deliver that competitive advantage.

TDIS is uniquely positioned to deliver a spectrum of supply chain services to meet your most complex distribution challenges. We offer three different types of pricing, spot market, firm/ long term pricing and Nor'Easter.

Our spot market program is called 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. For more information please visit our Modal X website.

Our long-term pricing is for your steady business you do weekly or monthly. Long-term rates are held for an agreed upon time period. All long-term business must be account cleared with NS so you would need to provide us with the beneficial owner or shipper of the product. If there is an incumbent NS customer moving the lane you are requesting pricing on, TDIS cannot quote you. If it is clear and we do start moving that lane, you can rest assured NS will not offer pricing.

Our Nor'Easter program offers ramp to door pricing to trucking companies with privately owned trailers. TDIS will provide ramp to door delivery and return the empty trailer back to the original terminal.

We will tailor our diverse capabilities to meet your specific shipping needs. Delivering consistency and flexibility that you need to respond to market changes overnight. And expanding your market reach without reaching deeper into your pockets.
