    I second that;
    Does anybody know anything about Schneider Intermodal out of the Worcester, Mass. yard?
    I hear regional guys are doing 2200-2500 miles a week.
    Does taking home (after taxes and insurance) a grand to 1200 bucks for a five day work week, consistently, sound likely?

    Lots of reasons, but biggest one being I worked every weekend for 4.5 years and just got tired of it. I also got a bug up my butt to buy a truck. I still make way more as an O/O then I did as company driver.

    As an O/O, I get dmrg after 1 hour, so I'll take CN every day if I could. (Clock starts when I'm near property, not ingated. I've sat for 2 hours waiting to get in before)
    I start tomorrow with a x-town out of CN.
