I live in Rochelle il, there's a uprr yard here, I see O/O intermodal trucks all the time.. Do they lease onto a carrier or run their own athority? What's the rpm you O/O are averaging? I've heard it's cheap paying freight, very interested since it's so close to me...

ChicagoJohn and Boxxer Thank this.

trucker with their own authority can haul direct for Union Pacific out of KC,Mo..Short hauls and a good truck can make $3500/week,,
Boxxer Thanks this. -
you will also need an SCAC code to operate under to have access to the rail, they will also have different insurance requirements and are very specific on it
stayinback Thanks this. -
You can just look at the company names on the trucks coming out of the ramp in Rochelle. I am an O/O leased on to a carrier that has a Rochelle office. I do 99.98% of my work in and out of Rochelle. Only two of my loads in 2 years have been delivered to Chicago railyards. Just look for the stickers on the side. If all the trucks look the same, they are company trucks. I know this is an old post, but you can pm me for info is you like.

On top of that you must register with the UIIA and get interchange agreements with said Ramps.....
Just like in other modes of transportation....There will be a high level of competition....everyone wants intermodal work.... -
