    They have otr intermodal gigs. I know because they come to the warehouse I work all the time. That is why he asked.

    i think if i understood it correctly its a 4-6 day out gig. but for that pay i can't complain too much. What should i be careful about in intermodal freight?

    What else do they pay for besides mileage? I do rails here in Chicago and there's lots of wait times at the rails for various reason. I get paid hourly and wouldn't do it any other way as a company driver. Home many miles are they saying you will get weekly?

    Ive never pulled intermodal outside being a yard dog and moving their containers but a lot of them are in horrible shape.
