YUCK!
It's a rust bucket. Wtf? I could barely get the landing gear up and the tandems wont slide. I'm headed into a repair shop this morning. I tried all my usual tricks. It needs lubed and some TLC. I dont like these intermodal much. I messaged my dispatch....are you sure you want me doing this intermodal? lol. I'm only getting 6 mpg instead of my usual 8+. It's kicking my butt all over the place. Evil, evil trailer. I wont be switching to intermodal, pretty sure.
I picked up my first intermodal!

I’ve heard that division has notoriously bad equipment. Good luck.

There's no other industry like it, all equipment is leased, chassis/container/TOFC trailer, you're not paying rental nor maintenance on it, you drive it from point A to point B safe, return it to a depot or rail yard and collect your money and go home same day and make same money as any OTR driver, while being home at night.

You're doing intermodal? Good heavens, you are a glutton for punishment, no wonder you're so pissed off. You should be concerned with if the brakes work, or the tires have air, not how rusty it is. Hearing all your other complaints, and the intermodal tie-in, all the pieces are beginning to fit.

If you have a flat, ruin a tire, blow out, You or your company will have to pay for their tire. Also be careful to note all damage before you sign for it or when you check it in, they will charge for previous damage.
