Larry Gross Receives Intermodal’s Highest Honor

"The Intermodalist" to be Presented with the 2024 Silver Kingpin Award

CALVERTON, MD (June 3, 2024) – The Intermodal Association of North America is pleased to announce that Larry Gross, President and Founder of Gross Transportation Consulting, will be honored with the 2024 Silver Kingpin Award during this year’s Intermodal EXPO, Sept. 9-11, in Long Beach, California.

Gross is a veteran of the freight transportation sector with more than forty years’ experience. He is president of Gross Transportation Consulting, writes the monthly “Land Lines” column in the Journal of Commerce, and authors “Intermodal in Depth,” an analytical report covering the intermodal sector. His years as an industry consultant and observer were preceded by executive positions in intermodal equipment development and sales, including 27 years at Wabash National where he headed up all aspects of the RoadRailer intermodal product line.

“Larry’s contributions to the intermodal industry across his career have been significant,” said Joni Casey, President and CEO of IANA. “His work with the RoadRailer product was a fascinating chapter in the evolution of intermodal, and he has distinguished himself in recent decades as an unbiased source of industry intelligence for students, investors, intermodal practitioners and the general public.”

The Silver Kingpin, started by the National Piggyback Association in 1977, recognizes an individual’s long-term contributions to intermodalism. It is the industry’s most prestigious award, reflecting the support of the recipient’s peer group in a given year. For more information and past awardees, see the IANA Awards Web Page.
