Thinking about running local, intermodal, or regional

Hey guys,

So when I save enough money or "if" I save enough money for trucking school lmao I wanted to know if it was possible to run local, intermodal, or regional with certain trucking companies. I been researching and it seems the best training company would be with schneider, since they offer all three plus OTR. From my understanding there isn't much money with local compared to OTR and the traffic sucks, but my wife doesn't want me to go OTR lol so I wanted to do any of the three listed above. I don't mind signing a contract for a year and doing some LTL work or even tankers, as long as I make more money than my office job. $15/hr sitting in a office with a college degree is no fun and living paycheck to paycheck and driving 60 miles round trip to work and dealing with an hr and a half traffic everyday haha. Any tips for a new comer?

Thanks!

 

LOL! #### man your like the "info master" for truckerreport haha thanks for the info! The info you give people are great, there's some companies that I never even heard of till I ran into this forum.

 

What would you say the average pay is for regional intermodal? Do you have an option of getting cpm or do they pay per load?

 

ooo got cha, that average is still pretty good compared to other companies haha. Do you need experience for regional or can you do straight out of CDL school and attend company training for 4 weeks?

 

#### i think your right, i looked them up haha
