The containers are loaded onto a chassis at the port/rail yard. Then you take them to the end customer and yes, most likely you will be backing them into a dock.
Drove 2 days for interview only to be told the positions filled

I just applied to Schneider intermodal and got accepted. Do you know how much backing is involved in intermodal?
-
Anyone can do it, just go slow and easy.
Those 20' containers react quickly, so backing a 53' trailer is easier.
Just take your time and don't let anyone rush you.Farmtractor9900, Badmon, Numb and 1 other person Thank this. -
If an ole Redneck (fill in the blank here) from the mountains of North Georgia can do it! Most anybody else can as well! Yep! I am both!
Badmon and JSanborn103 Thank this. -
They’re only 20’? I thought Schneider had 53 foot ones
I was watching some YouTube videos and they said it was really tough. I only have 4 months experience -
SNI intermodal only services the rail)no port work for drivers in charlotte). All 53 ft containers....

If that's the case, he won't have any problems backing then.nikmirbre Thanks this.

My father taught me to drive in an old split shift Mack. He used the (FIST) system when I messed up. This job is one step at a time. This job does not suffer fools well either and is terribly unforgiving of mistakes. Still, it's one step at a time every day every time.Badmon Thanks this.

That sounds promising
Maybe I should’ve gone with tanker

Keep this list handy, you may need it someday. These are companies drivers retire from.
After you have a total of 12 mos. experience, check these companies.
Make sure you have the endorsement required.
