    csx, pacer, cruiser, jbhunt any company that hauls 53 footers is a ok outfit, anything coming out of the ports are overweight and chassis are one bump away from falling apart

    Have you run intermodal lately? JB and SNI both pay their intermodal guys out the Ahole compared to the vast majority of other newbie companies out there. As a first year company driver I gross 1000-1100 a week regional and I still make it home 2-3 extra nights per week. I almost never have live loads, I've had to get a flip 3 times in the last six months and when I get stuck at the rails doing that crap I get detention pay. I get awesome extra short haul and live load pay. If i run less than 110 miles I make 75 CPM. There probably are some pretty sketchy companies out there but it seems to me from what you are saying that things are changing.
     
    RERM Thanks this.

    Just moved to Florida this year and was looking into running ports, but don't know much about it. Ran some years ago as a company driver but wanting to go O/O now. If anyone could give me some info that is still doing it, that would be great. Email address is Stacey7663@yahoo.com.
