This study focuses on one of the intermodal operational problems: how to select the appropriate partner for shipment for intermodal forwarding freight agent (IFFA). In this paper, on the basis of decision theory, game theory, a two-stage approach is presented. Firstly, a suitable candidates group is shortlisted with the consideration of the incomplete information from applicants. Secondly, a first-price sealed auction competition mechanism is then introduced to fulfill the reassessment. Many characteristics are taken into consideration, i.e. the incomplete information and the risk preference of the IFFA etc. And then, a carrier selection modal and game modal are established. In the end, the theoretical analysis is proposed and some strategy remarks are given in this paper subsequently.
