    Absolutely! I surely remember that. I awkwardly miss that. By the way, I wanted to congratulate you the other day, welcome aboard brother. I also work out of the Norfolk Southern Morrisville, PA ramp and the CSX South Philly ramp too. Feels good to be back home and in the intermodal scene again after 2 years. JB Hunt is a mega carrier but is a descent place to work regardless what others say. We Intermodal guys get treated better than the OTR guys.

    Slip-seat with JB in Winter Haven averaged $900 gross for 5 days working. So $180 per day avg on a 12 hr day. Slip-seat stinks. Loads are random so a set start time is not possible.

    And Winter Haven is Not a drop and hook rail. Much of the time your on the crane line getting loaded, unloaded, or Both. A lot of waiting. Averaged less than 300 miles per day.

    The railyard is the same for everyone. We were daycab slip-seat. Our longest longest load was just over 100 loaded. 99% of the time you deadhead back. Most loads are less than 50 miles loaded. Tampa, Orlando, and Lakeland. Usually 3 loads per day. So you deal with the railyard a bunch. There are a lot of O/O sleeper trucks that I'd assume pull the longer runs. Getting in and out of the railyard will run anywhere from 30 minutes to 3hours. There is a multitude of variables, but on average probably about 1 hr. So of course rail delay pay starts after 1 hr.
