Triple Crown Services, Inc.: where rail meets the road—seamlessly

At Norfolk Southern, we know that the first and final mile can make or break a supply chain. That’s why we created Triple Crown Services, Inc. (TCSI)—a single-source solution for motor carrier and brokerage services that puts customers first

Formed through the strategic merger of Triple Crown Services Company and Thoroughbred Direct Intermodal Services, Inc., TCSI is delivering smarter, faster, and more flexible logistics solutions across our network. This includes the operation of our TCZU private container fleet with expanded service routes connecting Toledo and Mexico.

Speed and Flexibility

TCSI ensures freight moves with precision from origin to destination. Whether it’s a short-haul delivery or a complex intermodal move, our team delivers with agility and consistency.

Simplified Logistics

With one point of contact and one trusted brand, customers benefit from a streamlined experience. TCSI eliminates complexity and confusion, making it easier to plan, track, and manage shipments. With TCSI’s implementation of ModalView technology, we’re enhancing real-time visibility for street-level load tracking and accelerating access to critical documents. This combination allows us to fully onboard a customer and tender a load within a single day.

Scalable Capacity

From seasonal surges to specialized freight, TCSI flexes to meet demand. Our network of motor carrier partners ensures we’re ready when customers need us most.

“We took the best of both legacy companies and created something stronger, so our customers can benefit from a more agile, responsive, and reliable supply chain partner,” said Cheryl Trate, President of TCSI.

Built Around Customers

Backed by Norfolk Southern’s rail network and powered by a customer-first mindset, TCSI is helping shippers navigate today’s complex supply chain with confidence.

“We’re not just delivering freight—we’re delivering operational efficiency, simplified logistics, and strategic value,” said Stefan Loeb, Vice President of Business Development and First and Final Mile Markets. “Triple Crown Services, Inc. is designed to make doing business with Norfolk Southern easier, faster, and more effective—so our customers can focus on growth, not complexity.”
