Both roles require a CDL A license and involve port or yard work. Intermodal Cdl A Drivers focus on moving containers between ports, rail yards, and distribution centers, often covering longer distances. Drayage Truck Drivers typically handle short-distance container moves within ports or nearby areas. While similar, intermodal drivers usually operate across multiple locations, whereas drayage drivers focus on local port deliveries.
