JB vs Schneider intermodal

Schneider vs JB Hunt sound about the same I wouldn't work for either one.
Old Dominion home everyday and $27 an hour working local sounds like a better deal.
Abf has a terminal in Carlisle I would choose working for that company before I would choose working for Schneider or JB Hunt.

 

lol how do you say jb hunt in german SCHENEIDER

 

rabbidporkchop is right and pulling cans sucks I gurantee an average guy in the ltls is making more than every driver at jb and sni

 

Yeah but in Intermodal you don't touch freight and don't have to be on call like you do in LTL. Once you almost get killed a few times by other forklift operators on a dock you tend to appreciate not having to do dock work. Honestly the difference in pay is about 10k to 15k a year.

The Pros and Cons of Intermodal vs LTL are as follows

Pros

*No Touch Freight

*Left alone during your work day. I have literally gone into work more then a few times had all my stuff printed out and didn't have to deal with anyone in the office and went about my day just sending messages across the OBC without having to contact anyone at my terminal.

*No being on call have to fill different shifts.

*No bids. You get a shift you like you can't get bumped off it unless you are out of work for several months ie workman's comp injury or something to that effect.

*No dealing with doubles and triples although it's not a big deal after you do it a few times.

Cons

*You make about 10 to 15k less a year then higher paying LTL jobs.

*No chance at a pension like some LTL carriers that are union.

*Not Hourly pay

 

How about running line haul from terminal to terminal and never touching freight?

 

My father does that for FedEx freight out of there terminal in Harrisburg (Middletown) PA. He's in the top 15 for seniority and last year made just shy of 100k and works just shy of a full 70 hours a week working almost 14 hours everyday. A guy at my terminal works a 6th day weekly to run his hours just shy of 70 (that and he hates working more then 12 hours a day) and makes over 85k a year. The pay difference isn't as extreme as most people would like to believe.

As far as the never touching freight part goes that terminal is line haul however your going to work the dock there for several years before you get enough seniority to have a bid run to the point you won't have to work the dock. So yeah your going to touch freight in most cases even in line haul.

 

What company are you working for? Are you running out of Harrisburg?
