Stay away from intermodal new owner operators

Some guys are lazy its just the way it is intermodal can be tough alot of the equipment is bad.

 

Its been that way for intermodal.

 

Need to carry you a rachet strap around with you. That will fix your mud flap hangar problem

 

With all the rules and regulation creating now days. Im surprised nothing's been done about intermodal equipment. A lot of them chassis just act like they're going to fall apart if the wind blows a certain way. But what do you expect when the rail yard treats the equipment like crap. Not sure why companies deal with it. I sure wouldn't want my equipment being thrown and drug around with no respect. That and the fact that it seems like a lot of them have wiring problems and I see lights flicker on and off on them a lot. Then you add the fact that some of the people driving them wouldn't know the difference between a wrench and a socket. So there goes any idea of the driver fixing minor things on sight. As far as containers themself go. I'm not sure what could go wrong on them other than a broken door. They're pretty basic designed.

one thing that has been consistently told to me is never drive containers. They're a rolling pile of csa violations.

 

I saw a driver doing this the other day. And I was amazed at it. Needless to say I walked in and purchased a strap.

 

Yea I pulled them for a year or so and always had a strap available in mine because youd always be blowing those recaps in the summer!LOL

 

Yea or go to the railyard and there be 50 trucks sitting there in line to go through that slow checkin process. I hear Ya!
