I worked for Devine & Peters way back in the mid 90's. Used to drive a KW day cab. It was a fun job except for the very long hours! Usually 430am to 7pm. Keep truckin!
Hey wsup piñata whacker, do you work for a company or do you have your own business? I want to work the rails out of LA but I am not sure how to find loads besides a broker. Any help is appreciated 🙏
Gonna be easier for you since you have experience. You won’t have to worry about driving although in intermodal, that is the easiest part. The hardest part in my opinion, especially if you’re going into marine containers and using rail equipment is the seemingly unending search for GOOD ENOUGH chassis to pull (it’s never great). It can get overwhelming sometimes. You’re gonna get in trouble if you let down your guard and rush your pre trip. It’s nothing like pulling your own trailer and getting to know every inch of it.

You very wrong. Went you said is all you gonna be. If you mean all that money I gonna make benn a company driver i have invested In sur america in teak trees. 8 years ago big return on my money and i have 2 houses pay in pa and i get rent and getting close to retire from teamsters union getting $2,750 a month plus social security. I was just trying to show you I sold my truck after 20 years i pull containers i haul for a car carrier. In nj. Best luck with your business my friend.
I don’t get it. You working very hard. No benefits no union no holidays no overtime no vacations. No union pencion. I sold my truck 20 year ago. Im doing much better now. Do the numbers. At the end is not worth it.
While I agree with most of your points, how is working hard a negative? Being an owner op sure isn't for everyone and in my opinion if you don't have plans on growing the business beyond owning and driving 1 truck, then it isn't worth it. In my case though, I do plan on being a fleet owner. On the flip side, if you're perfectly content in being a company driver then good for you. But then again, a company driver is all you're gonna be.
Just to find that loss light wires tells me good driver always keeping his eyes open 👌
Thank you sir. I try.

How is paperwork handled on a container? I assume the license plate comes back to the chassis owner. Is there a bill of lading? Where do you get it?
gate tickets are used for billing, otherwise all record are online
Great Video! Any interest in partnering on some new videos?
