Coverage for intermodal terminals, transfer hubs, and the logistics corridors connecting port, rail, and road.
Join 200+ facilities secured Nationwide.
Freight is safest when it is moving and most vulnerable when it changes hands: port to truck, truck to rail, rail to yard, yard to final mile. Each transfer multiplies the people with access, blurs the chain of custody, and creates the dwell time theft depends on. Intermodal facilities exist to make those transfers efficient, which is precisely what makes them targets. OPPS provides intermodal security services across Maryland, Virginia, and Delaware for the hubs and corridors where the region’s freight economy actually runs.
Our logistics hub security covers transfer facilities end to end: gate control on volumes that never pause, yard coverage across container and trailer storage, transfer-point presence during lift operations, and documentation that keeps custody accountable across every mode change.
Intermodal operations run on schedules set by vessels, trains, and delivery windows, none of which wait for a shift change. Our freight terminal security staff adapts to your operational rhythm: gate coverage matched to volume peaks, patrols through the hours cargo dwells, and surge capacity when a vessel and a unit train land in the same twelve hours.
Hubs serve many masters: carriers, shippers, railroads, and drayage operators, all moving through one facility. Our personnel treat every party professionally, apply access rules evenly, and keep records clean enough to settle the disputes that multi-party operations inevitably produce.
We assess your facility the way freight moves through it: entry gates and their verification procedures, container and trailer storage zones and their dwell patterns, lift and transfer areas where cargo is open and equipment is moving, rail interfaces where your fence line meets someone else’s operation, and the exit controls that are your last chance to catch what entry missed.
From that assessment comes layered coverage: gate personnel verifying equipment, seals, and paperwork in both directions, yard patrols on routes that reach the far corners where surveillance thins, transfer-area presence during operations, and exception response- the mismatched seal, the unscheduled pickup, the truck in the wrong lane- handled by procedure instead of improvisation.
Every movement logged, every exception documented, every shift reported, because in a multi-modal operation, the facility with the best records wins every dispute.

FAQs
Container transfer yards, rail-truck terminals, drayage staging facilities, consolidation hubs, and the satellite lots that serve them, anywhere freight changes mode or hands under one operator’s responsibility.
By covering the interface: the zones where railcars are worked, the boundaries between your operation and the railroad’s, and the access implications of a fence line a train passes through. Personnel are briefed on rail safety protocols before working those areas.
Yes. Gate procedures confirm drivers, equipment, and pickup authorization against your expected schedule, which is exactly where fictitious pickup fraud, the fastest-growing cargo crime, gets caught or does not.
Yes. For hubs moving port cargo, our daily Port of Baltimore presence and TWIC-certified personnel make the coordination seamless, one provider covering the freight from terminal gate to hub exit.
