Door-to-Ramp Definition
Door-to-ramp auto transport refers to picking up the vehicle at a customer's home and then transporting it to an intermodal terminal, where it gets loaded into a container via a ramp.
An intermodal terminal is a facility that moves containers between different modes of transport.
From there, a driver transports the container, or the container gets loaded onto a ship for international transport.
