    Id say stay away from Intermodal...
    heres why, in my personal experience ive waited quite a few times between 3-5 hours at CP intermodal rail in MTL or CN.
    Whos paying you for the waiting?? if youre a broker you get paid by the moves.

    Im not a broker but go figure.

    I ve seen cargo on floor but thats a drop on most of cases...
    I once got refused at Dollarama warehouse, cargo wasnt secured when loaded...boxes moved.
    called my dispacth, who called me back 5 minutes later to tell me that i have to moves the boxes into new pallets cuz shipper was paying (20 pallets)
    almost 6 hours later i was done..however never saw some extra $$$ for the job i did.
