2017 Intermodal

I was looking at some of the rates in the savannah,ga and Jacksonville,fl ports because I'm moving down south in the near future and I see postings of 1.16 a mile and so on coming out of the ports who the heck drives for that money?? I was doing a quick math and 50 dollars gross an hour and after all the expenses one will be lucky to break 20 dollars an hour if those ports are anything like the ones in the northeast I feel bad for the industry

 

Florida is well known for low rates.

 

I know in Chicago the company I worked at was paying guys $70 for a 35 mile trip...

 

for o/o? thats disgusting

 

Yup. Rates like that all day long, never understood how anyone could be a O/O for them...

 

Holy moly!!!!! lol

are you still with them? saw you used a keyword, "worked at" lol

 

No left back in March.

 

Right across the street from CN.......... BNSF Elwood to Cannon USA Woodridge, IL 33 Miles $80 They pay 1 way rates.

 

@HalpinUout is it higher then 3, but lower then 5. LOL
