Intermodal transport based on exchanging containers needs effective and efficient functioning of land terminals. The article presents a heuristic method, which combines the issues of scheduling loading machine operation and its route in the fulfilment of carriage-yard transport orders. This method is implemented at four stages: a comparison of dates of container release to the end recipient, valuation of task implementation and valuation of the accumulated value of the performance of entrusted tasks.
