Jb hunt local intermodal???

Schneider has some stuff like this here in Houston at the rail heads and also out of the port of Houston. The big complaint I've heard though is that b/c of the number of trucks and containers involved you can often find yourself sitting in "hurry up and wait" mode for hours at a time. I've talked to people who do this and a lot of them are like, "Yeah, bring a book b/c it's impossible to sleep in those day cabs". How much would you say you find yourself sitting?

 

We get one load a day from the GP dc here. They load up a rail container and we each take one out. I know the intermodal guys actually up in Harrisburg might to have to wait at the rail yards or at a customer. Since were a weird team we never have to wait. We’re assigned a load the day before or whatever and we just pick that up and go.

 

Wow! I remember when us guys out of Morrisville used to do pickups and deliveries out of GP when they were in Quakertown, PA.

Well I believe Harrisburg is one of the busiest and good paying Intermodal ramps in the system. I started with JB 3 1/2 years ago out of Morrisville, PA(PHL). There were times that H-rail would be backed up, they had go out there to help out.

 

Done spoke to drivers that are grossing $1200-$1400 wkly and thats workin 5 days a week. I would give it a try. Whatever you do though, stay the hell away from day shift

 

do they have driver facing cameras?
