I am looking thru various flatbed job listings and some of them mention PODS?. When I google it, it comes back as pay on delivery?. I don't think that is the right definition of the term in this case? What does PODS mean for flatbed jobs .
PODS ?

Moving containers. They look like they are 10' long, customer packs it, you haul it. Think of them as a bedbugger in a can.
Jumpman Thanks this. -
U-Haul hires cdl-a drivers for POD work. Other companies do also.
Here's a photo:

The best part about using U-Box® containers for a move or as a portable storage solution is you have the flexibility and control to plan the perfect move. You can ship them to your new home or store themLast edited: May 14, 2021

ABF Freight has something similar. ABF driver drops a trailer at your house, then leaves. You load your own stuff into the trailer and when it's ready. The drivers comes to get it and deliver it where ever you agreed to.

They are a moving and storage company where you pack an 8' 12' or 16' container. Then they pick it up and either store it for you or take it to your new location. https://www.pods.com

It stands for Portable On Demand Storage.

PODS is the easiest job hands-down. They are 7 to 16 ft containers. They are always light loads. You throw 2 to 3 straps per POD or chain and roll. I can strap faster than most people complete a drop and hook. Nine times out if ten, we load and unload at the same place. Most of the locations are really nice and easy to get to. We do a lot of coast to coast loads. I work for Blackhawk almost exclusively on the PODS account, and I'm glad to answer any questions for you. Pay is 51 cpm with a 5k sign on bonus and an additional 5 cpm for the summer rush. Summer miles are as many as we can handle. Winter runs about 2800 a week. We set out own ETAs so we can run consistent schedules every day. It's perfect for someone who doesn't mind staying out for a little while. That's the one downside.

Easy work, cheap rates. A backhaul special. At last when it comes to getting them off the load boards in my experience.

Where are some of the PODS hubs throughout the US?
