[QUOTE="jon69, post: 10622187, member: 218900"]Let's say I live locally and want to do intermodal work. How do I start out? Seems like everywhere you need at least 1 year rail yard experience to get hired on, but if no one is willing to train how do you get experience? My plan is to start out company driver do that for maybe a year and then be an OO hauling containers. Would a company like JB Hunt hire me with no rail exp? Currently have a clean Class A. 3 years exp doing OTR work- both Dry Van and Reefer. My PSP Score is at 17 and set to drop down to 8 shortly. 300000 miles accident free- a chunk of that is in and around Chicago. So how do I break in to doing rail yard intermodal work? Anyone know a company that will hire me?[/QUOTE]
