    False

    Explanation:

    Intermodal transport can be defined as the transportation of goods in one and the same truck or loading medium without handling the goods themselves in a different transport modes.

    Hence, It would not be considered as an intermodal shipment because it used more than one transport system.

    False

    Explanation:

    Intermodal shipping refers to shipping using two or more different types of freight modes, e. g. railway, truck, air, or sea.

    In this case, the shipment is only moved by truck, one small and one large, but it doesn't involve any other type of freight mode. To consider it intermodal shipping it would have been necessary that a cargo train, sea or air transport be involved.
