Training videos for new truck drivers, moving containers in and out of the Ports of Los Angeles. Dashboard camera. What to expect for the first time. EverGreen Port.
Looking at this it takes me back to my own days back in the 1995. I was a owner operator had my own tractor hauled for 2 brokers in the San Francisco area. Did it for 5 years, did not make any money gosh, it was so crazy at those ports trying to get a load. Most of the time you ended up spending al day there getting a load gosh, it was crazy. 😂
Whenever someone starts their hater rant about California I remind them that without the Ports in California the United States would starve and its commerce would go bankrupt in under two years.
So, usually, there is a line for bobtails trucks only, and at this port, we can use that lane with bare chassis, too. However, this lane is very small and difficult to get into. I came-in with a bare chassis that time.
Not sure what was worse, grocery warehouses or those container ports, could never get in and out of those places without waiting for someone to go on lunch or break 2 or three times.
I know that! Grocery warehouses, waiting 8 hours for a live load! My opinion is that working in the ports is a lot easier, as a local driver. If I was over the road, I would probably avoid going into the ports.
I saw a job posted los angeles to riverside $200.00 round trip. My question is how many trips could I make a day working the AM 5am to 5pm shift? Im trying to find out if this is a low paying job or not?
I am an employee driver. You can make 2 of those round trips in 12 hours. However, there are so many moving parts that I would not make a guarantee. I would take it, only to get my experience. Today, I don't like working by the trip. We can end up making $60 for one day sometimes! I am very happy at my current employer right now. 😁

Recently, things have been slow at the ports, most days, so they get us loaded and out very fast!
