Abstract: A container transport system includes a gooseneck assembly for towing by a medium duty truck and a dolly for supporting the weight of an intermodal freight container. The gooseneck assembly includes a pair of platforms each configured to support a corner casting of the transported intermodal freight container and having a post matingly received through a bottom orifice of the supported corner casting. A hoist assembly is provided to lift an end of the intermodal freight container for placing the container on the dolly or removing the container from the dolly. A pair of barrel slide bolt assemblies is provided for securing the intermodal freight container in place atop the platforms. In order to facilitate placement of the dolly beneath the freight container, the dolly also includes a gin pole assembly, which is stowable in a recess so as to not interfere with placement of the container.
