    Ive been interested in getting into pulling containers around Atlanta or out of Savannah. Wondering what companies are good, any good lease purchase programs worth the time? How much can u make? Any and all info would be great. Thanks

    May want to look into Comtrak Logistics out of Memphis, TN.... They have gotten really big in intermodal! I don't drive for them but have family that has driven for them in the past...said they were a great company..just wanted to move to specialized freight!!

    Thanks for the info, I've been looking at them. I'm currently pulling a cement tanker locally and business is just too unstable. Seems there are always containers moving around tho.

    Honestly, I think I might try JB Hunt and Schneider first. They both do a lot of intermodal business and at least you know you'll be driving and pulling decent equipment, which is more than can be said about many container haulers.

    I've looked at them both, they are too far of a commute tho. They run out of fairburn which is over an hour from me.

    Comtrak's is now owned by HubGroup. Check into Morgan Southern. Or hell, go over to the rail yard and see who's pulling out of there and check into them all.
     
    ACH1130 and The Challenger Thank this.
