jb hunt or schneider (intermodel) los angeles

You can make about the same money from each, pull the same loads, pass each other going down the road driving nearly the same equipment. It really comes down to what color looks better to you, Orange and black or white with gold.

 

You sure the pay information you got is accurate? I work for JB Hunt Intermodal in Harrisburg PA. We start off at 34 cents per mile and a drop and hook is $23 a live un/load is $43. You should be making more than that starting out due to cost of living being higher in LA than it is Harrisburg PA.

 

After talking to other intermodal company drivers, if the pay is about equal, I'd go with JB because they pull their own chassis, not one from some chassis pool. Which means they do their own maintenance amd not rely on some guy in a truck; and less down time on the side of the road or in line waiting to get a chassis flip because of shoddy equipment. I know here in Chicago, Schneider uses a chassis pool. I can't speak on what they use in socal.

Yes, I am biased to JB. I drive intermodal out of Chicago for them for the last seven years.

 

Schneider is changing there whole intermodal chassis fleet over to there own chassis. In Cali they already have something like 1700 new chassis, and by 2016 there whole intermodal fleet will have there own chassis.

 

i run jb intermodal in bethlehem pa and i have no problem with them... been here about 2 months and all is ok so far ... we get 31 mile and 24 a drop ...

 

That pay sounds off for LA. None of the Intermodal guys I know there make that less. Unless they changed the pay structure since the last time I was down there. Most of the guys I talked to smoked me in per week pay and they were home everyday.

 

I was told 31 CPM for Elizabeth new jersey and 34 a drop. I think its low too. 18 an hour to drive 60 mph. Do they pay the wait to check in at the rail yard?

 

Hey I live in Milwaukee wi do you know of any. Complaints being a local intermodal o/o at jb?
