Intermodal Orientation

You won't have to spend long with a trainer. You will just be learning the system. It'll definitely be less than a week before they turn you lose on your own... unless you request to spend more time with the trainer. That's what the transfer portal representative told me when I was considering doing a regional Intermodal position a few years back. I'd have had to go touch OH, IL, MN, WI, KY and IN since I lived not too far from Cincy. I didn't want to have to go through those ports, but a female friend had grown accustomed to doing it in a short period of time. She cleared 100k her first full year of juuging in and out of Chicago. Call up to a recruiter to confirm and or debunk the info.

 

Even if you're an experienced driver, they still send you out overnight with a trainer?

 

It's account specific training. Throwing you to the wolves would be inhumane

 

Yeah, the rail yards have their own quirks, that everyone goes through. Much easier with a guide to assist.

 

I've been to a few railyards on my own. It's not that bad. Don't think a trainer is necessary for it.
