ISO trailers and containers

Back when they first started to use drop frames owner operators complained that the chassis design used to slap them in the back a lot a lot was done to stop this but then they started to lighten up the chassis so I'd imagine they still bounce and kick a lot...like pulling a parachute was a good description.

 

Where can I learn to do isotainers...is there anyone here who can give me a step by step process. I'm working the Houston sports. Any tips bits would help

 

See if CBSL is hiring.

@Ruckie Hey man, don't you pull ISOs, or used to anyway?

 

Thanks to everyone for the help and quick response

 

I did them when I worked at Dana/Suttles. Not much different than doing regular tanker, usually out and back which was nice. Tended to have less surge than a smooth bore tanker. Picking them up at the rail yard was a pain because we’ll it’s a rail yard and every one I’ve been to was a pain. Used to shuttle them from the CN yard in Detroit to our yard and we’d stage them in the ground at our yard. That wasn’t bad as I went to hourly rate doing the shuttle work. I’ve seen Heniff in Chiraq has a set up where they’re staged and they have their own lifts. They do feel a bit tippy as opposed to a smooth bore. I enjoyed the work but the pay wasn’t there. I pulled smooth bore general chemical, compartmented, jet fuel, ISO, and dedicated acid tank for Suttles/Dana and really enjoyed the work but dealing with all that I left and made 1.5 times more per week gross delivering mobile home parts and supplies as a private fleet driver for Stylecrest which is the largest supplier of that stuff. That was 12 years ago so maybe the ISO pay has come up.
