Schneider Intermodal Good Or Bad?

if you a new driver though its easier and better to get it before your initial license is issued. No extra fees fro the added endorsements later!!

 

im gonna hit my 1 yr this year with central. im local. i was thinking of working intermodal locally in chicago just to learn the rails. you guys think its easy work? you think i can make 1000 before taxes $$? i got my hazmat but no tanker yet. ill get it if I need it. which makes no sense if im not in a tanker.

 

You should easily gross 1k a week. Tanker is required because of the portable bulk containers. The fed now looks at those containers as a tank and requires you to have the endorsement to haul them. Therefore, schneider has made it a requirement for all intermodal drivers to carry the endorsement.

 

thinking about the local owner operator intermodal for the chicago,IL area. So its 2 days training with a local? Im hearing they are one of the good ones for the intermodal area because their chassis are new and good shape. Im all about being home daily and weekends off. Especially being an o/o ill feel better.

 

In Chicago we don't own our chassis. But the rails been keeping them up to shape. Tell me how it goes I'm curious how the o/o are doing

 

oh really? i was orignally going to go for a smaller company. but my uncle said go to a company with 53 foots. the 20 and 40 containers are horrible he said.also i heard schneider pays for o/o plates,ifta. etc

 

I don't think Schneider have any o/o on there intermodal.. local or Regional.?

 

As far as I know the only O/O or IC that SNI does for container hauling is through their Port Dray program. I'd rather haul from the railyard as opposed to from the port any day.

 

Oh k think the rail is better tho

 

Are you still with Schneider intermodal?
