    Just curious if any body has any info on this company, whether good or bad, I've been kicking around the idea if pulling containers, just to get off the otr grind, there offering a run from Montgomery Al, to austell Ga, 2 loads per day, but im not sure if 2 loads per day is possible, with traffic and dealing with rail yards, I've never dealt with rail yards before, so any advice would be appreciated, thanks

    I run raildecks in there from time to time. Austell is not hard to get in and out of. You have to get registered with NS Railroad to have access to the yard, that only takes a few minutes.

    Good luck
     
    rebeloutlaw66 Thanks this.

    Thanks, Im not sure if getting 2 loads per day is going to be realistic, going that far, I could see it if it was maybe 100 miles or so but from Montgomery to austell, is like 170 or more plus all the traffic going around Atlanta

    Was wondering about them myself. Haven't been to a rail yard in 4 years. There are good and bad ones.

    From Montgomery, 2 loads might be a stretch in one day.

    They are advertising Indy to Chicago also. Not too fond of BNSF up there.
