TRAC Intermodal

What TRAC Intermodal does

TRAC Intermodal, a subsidiary of Interpool Limited founded in 1968 and rebranded in 2011, is the largest marine chassis provider and chassis pool manager in North America, operating a fleet of over 175,000 marine chassis — the highest U.S. market share at approximately 38% — across 13 neutral pools and 600+ start/stop locations nationwide. The company serves motor carriers, ocean carriers, railroads, beneficial cargo owners (BCOs), intermodal terminals, and freight forwarders through three primary go-to-market models: neutral pool daily usage, term leasing (1-15 years), and the emerging TRAC GeoFleet usage-based geofenced model, with sub-brands including TRAC Select (premium white-glove pool), TRAC BlueEdge (refurbished premium chassis), and San Pedro Bay Daily Lease. Supporting infrastructure includes 7 service centers, mobile service units, a 100,000 sq. ft. tire retreading facility, and the FYX roadside assistance subsidiary.

TRAC's technology stack centers on a proprietary enterprise platform processing 1.8 million EDI transactions daily, comprising EZBook (online/mobile chassis reservation), TRAC Connect (customer portal), TRAC Bill Management, TRAC Information Marketplace, the HELIX customer engagement and asset optimization platform, and the RoadStar AI platform for invoice processing. Optional GPS tracking via Blackberry H2 Hub, geofencing through GeoFleet, and integration with ocean carrier systems underpin operational visibility. Revenue is generated through multiple streams including subscription-style term leasing, usage-based daily pool billing, professional services for maintenance and repair, and tire retreading — priced via quote-based, non-public commercial terms. The company maintains strategic partnerships with BNSF Railway, Union Pacific, Florida East Coast Railway, Goodyear (Authorized Retreader), BlackBerry (GPS), American Made Chassis, and represents 13+ ocean steamship lines in pooled operations.
