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

Anyone have information on Old Dominion hauling cans out of Jacksonville or Sanford?

 

I'm an O/O hauling from the Ports in NJ. I'm leased on to Evans Delivery. I just purchased my truck in June after working for a company and making $20.00 an hour, I average $2000-$4000 clear a week AFTER expenses. I try and do the long runs, they pay the most. I have my plates and Ins. through them and it is the cheapest around. They also do the IFTA reporting. This has opened my eyes on what the prior company was making off of us drivers. Yes sometimes the wait in the piers suck and are long, but past that it's fine. We go to regular locations to deliver product and nothing for me has been back roads and pot holes, all highway.....

 

Yes, there's money involved.

Owner Operators clear no less than $2,500 after expenses here. We also have a fuel tanker and they fill up from here so I guess that helps as well since it's discounted.

 

i love hearing this. but is this 5 days a week? or 6? everyone is different ofcourse

 

5 days should be more than enough time to make that money,my 6th day is just if I want to make some extra for a weekend getaway or something

 

If my company wanted me to work a sixth day I told them they'd have to pay me $300.00 just to show up for work before I would even consider it. 5 days is enough and working a 6th day for an extra $100.00 they give you to me is not worth it. I'm a company driver not an Owner Operator.

 

lol weekend getaway money. nice man

 

Well, did you find a intermodal job yet?

 

yup. just gotta take a drug test. and im looking for a truck also. hopefully by next week ill have it if all goes well. really excited but ######## nervous. I deont think its the new job part more of the owner op part.

 

Nice man. What company?
