Before someone asks, I should say that the reason for this question of mine, is because I am a female...
I wonder why, in almost 9 yrs doing OTR in 48 states, I have never seen a female doing intermodal.... What is up with this intermodal truck driving job that doesn't attract females like all the other ones...?

Do not get suckered into a mileage job in intermodal unless it is regional. If you are doing local, hourly pay is THE ONLY WAY to go. -
There are woman doing Intermodel, I see them around Chicago all the time.
I never wanted to be paid by the hour, I always worked on %, but that's me. The only time if consider hourly is if I was doing a lot of city work with liftons/offs.Rocks Thanks this. -
How many hrs does one work a day in general?
-
Right now 8-10, when things pick back up 12-14. It can be a tough job with long hours, but if you get with the right company, you can earn a decent living.

What decent money ? Anyone haul for central state

Rocks,
For the first question, yes there are females running intermodal. Today I actually convoyed from to and from a drop with a female driver. I run for JB and I get payed milage, drop/hook, live load/unload, detention pay, brake down pay and for anything else that the company requires me to be at work such as training I get hourly for that. I average about 1500/2000 a week m-f and being home every day. If you have any questions you can pm me.Rocks Thanks this. -
