Intermodal - The What's and Who's

do you like it

 

all you have to do is watch the trains and see what company trailers that are being hauled. swift, jb hunt, schneider, werner are the few i see. good luck

 

Crst has alot of intermodal work also
Sent from my RM-845_nam_vzw_100 using Board Express

 

If I had a train line that ran near me I would. We have docks and rails around I just stay in my little area for now. Does it pay better or similar to OTR driving?

 

Everyone says stay away from CRST. Are they wrong?

 

$1000 gross for M-F, weekend work is another $200/day. Weekends are volunteer unless they do not get enough volunteers then drivers are assigned.

Home every night compared to 25 days out per month? Heck YA!

Officially that's true HOWEVER many plants ( not required under TSA ) require the TWIC to enter. It's another layer of security...... since you can buy a DL at the local flea market and they have no way to verify it.

Funny part is most (98% ) only view the card...which can easily be duplicated just like a DL. Only one of my customers has the actual reader that verifies the chip.......heck the port don't even have the readers.

TWIC is a joke, all that money & all they do is look and hand it back. I still smh

 

I f you are thinking what I think you are thinking Rail Roads Good Benefits Etc.
Those guys are NOT IT They Don't even compare to the Rail Road employment Most Drivers that want to work for inter modal trucking companies they want to stay local they don't want to go over the road.

This type of companies vary some pay ok and most of them are Just Junk Jobs
And this type of trucking is a good way to drain you CDL Points The trailers they pull are a SITE TO SEE 4 THE DOTEE... (DOT)

I thought I read somewhere that Intermodal is similar to LTL. Was I wrong? According to this link, http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckerreport.html, LTL makes the most money. Maybe I am not understanding terms. Please advise.
