    15 to 19 Container moves a day??? Those numbers won't be achieved daily...maybe weekly.

    OTR vs Daily Intermodal run is like comparing apples to oranges.

    Maybe check out SNI regional intermodal division. The Intermodal drivers up by me are .58 cpm
    ( experience ) Out Monday morning back Friday eve...maybe once thru the yard per week. I see they have a bonus, and that is the payout timeframe that you have. The Trucks up by me are 116BBC Freightliners with 48'' sleepers. I don't know the radius...but MI, IL, IN,KY,W.PA and WVA areas they run.

    .41 TL is on low side...with experience, but the 7k bonus adds .058cpm on 120k yearly avg miles

    Sorry yes I met weekly not daily sorry. Yes they said out Monday 7am and back Friday eve at 7pm. Just wondering if that low cpm will net me decent money. They only said .32 cpm because of my experience is only 3 months local

    Hard to say.... very few drivers work on Salary.... it's about miles, and loads....
    If SNI is offering .32 a mile for 3 months in KC..... that is horrible low compared to what is available in Michigan. I thought you were talking local container work in KC.

    Right now, in Michigan, 3 months exp SNI is offering .58 with 10k sign on. I tried to copy paste, no luck.

    BUT.....
    Regional Intermodal Truck Driver | Up to $0.58 cpm | Home Multiple Times per Week | Cincinnati, OH, North Baltimore, OH, Obetz, OH, Seville, OH & Woodhaven, MI....

    This is website for my general location in Michigan....3 months experience.

    Said that .32 x 2200 miles a week = $704 + per load of $10 x 15 loads a week = $150 then I didn’t catch what they said the $25 per load was $25 x 15 = $375

    So 704+150+375 = 1229 a week is what she said I’d make on the lower side. Kinda seemed like it was a lot of possible bonus money

    Until you sign a contract everything is up for negotiation. Ask for a higher rate per mile. If they are desperate enough for a 10k sign on bonus than they are desperate enough to negotiate a higher rate.

    They are a company, all companies want to get the cheapest rate possible that is willing to be accepted, you just have to be willing not accept their first cheap offer.
