Is it possible to make good money hauling containers (intermodal)?

thanks for replys

 

No keep that FLD, slap a not for hire on it. I have a feeling trucks from the 90's are being disposed of too fast, too lassez faire. Instant classics I say.

 

@Ruckie

What do you know about All Point TRansport in nj?

 

AKA Evans Delivery? Lol, All Points Transport In Chicago is by far the ####tiest co. Not sure about their temrinal in NJ but I reckon any company under EVANS DELIVERY sucks.

 

I worked for them here in chicago. I didnt like it.

Pros: they ask you what you want to do tom and you can say give me a,ohio load or a 200$ load or 250 etc. 53 foots mainly and they give you lights

Cons:guy steals. Isnt helpful at all. Dont care about safety at all.

 

Pretty much Evans delivery it's pretty much like burger King whole bunch of mom and pops companies that couldn't get their stuff straight so they pay Evans to recruit and handle paperwork for them but 90% suck even West motor freight associated with them few years ago and now they don't have the home daily option anymore when you sign with them

 

At the rate trucking industry going in a few years it going to be hard to find a good outfit that's not under one of the big dogs. A lot of small companies are under xpo, black wall street, Evans etc. They are buying out or part owner of a lot of small companies. Look like that's their idea to cut out the small guys and take over the industry.

One of my co-workers family members are leased to them. According him they are clearing about 3k a week. Recently another co-worker went to work for a O/O there and he is making about 1100-1500 a week.
The reason I ask is that they have been there for years so I'm sure they are getting good money loads while keeping the dispatchers "happy $$"
My 2years is coming up and looking a for a company

 

Ya im looking for o/o work too. I kind of want to join my company but i dont think o/o are doing too hot. But im just looking if all else fails im going to ask them if i can join them in a couple more months.

 

Right now I'm doing dry van and the rates have not changed in 3 years based on what I checked in the intermodal side so I'm staying dry van for the meantime I have a driver still hauling containers but he does give his dispatcher 75 dollars a week to keep him running and doing the backhauls
