Intermodle and port opprotunities

Ask about waiting time. If you're not paid waiting time and only get 200 a load you'll be here 14 hrs depending on terminal..

 

Also 6 loads on a friday highly impossible also onna Saturday since they work about 8 hrs minus 2 hrs of lunch. They're selling you a dream not to mention 200 for a 50 mile trip is LOW... and 6 loads a day? You'll be on e long you will NOT do it. Trust me. I do 6 day and that's running the clock to 14 hrs on a good day. Usually its 5 movements in 12 hrs and loads take 3 times as much as empties. I do this daily and you won't pull those loads especially from maersk or evergreen on a friday

 

We had a run that was about 11 miles one way. It paid $225 round trip. We could, on a good day, do 3 trips.

If each run is 50 each way, and that's about how far it is from LA to Fontana, that's 600 miles right there.

If you sit down, and just drive, no work, like hooking up to a trailer, etc., you would be lucky to get 500 miles!

Turning 6 roundtrip moves is unlikely. Turning 6 loaded moves in Southern California is downright a pipe dream.

 

Between the waiting at the ports and the 100 mile round trips, you may be able to do two trips on a consistent basis. Even if you run your hours illegally it'd be tough to do much better than that on a consistent basis because of the two hour breaks they take and the fact that they close before 2am.

 

The ports close?????

 

All trucks must be in the terminal before 2am. If you don't have your container by 2:45am, on the dot, they shut everything down and you're sent on your way.

One night I'd been waiting for 7+ hours, I was next in line, the clock struck 2:45... Had to bobtail out.

 

Wow!!!!!...at least the railroad is 24-7......

 

You have til 3 am to exit if not a turn around is what you get
