Glad I found your channel. You answered my questions

Thanks for this! I live in Warner Robins,GA and been heavily thinking about running ports. Have my twice card, just don't know how to get started with a lease purchase program or drive under a company doing containers

Very helpful 🚫🧢

Chris, I enjoy your channel so far. I think we could use a place to network and discuss the ports and Intermodal trucking especially those of us on the East coast. I started a Facebook page called 'Port and Intermodal Trucking.' You are welcome to join and spread the word! It is in its beginning stages now but hopefully it will grow.

Thanks for watching!! The process was indeed pretty easy and straight forward. Like I said I would recommend them as they are a nationwide company that are pretty big in the game. The closest one to the Jacksonville/Savannah area would be in Tifton Ga which is where I got mine from.

Oh and yes. They get get fleet trucks from knight, swift, etc. So most will be former fleet trucks.

Hi friend What about insurance How much you pay for it or what kind do you need

add tags and key words in the video information area that shows under your video when its watched.... normally there is a show more button under other people videos that when you expand it you see additional info....

Anyone know of a company in Georgia or Florida that will take owner operators for port work? If so please let me know

Thanks for your tips and replies. What is the name of your company and what percentage do they take out?

Hi friend, thank you for watching! Not sure about the percentage. It works out to 1.25 a mile. Not great but I am home everyday the loads usually pay around 675.00 and I can do a round trip and make it home in about 10 hours. I am at TXN Intermodal out of Savannah.

In the container industry over here on the east coast it is about 1.25 to 1.50 a mile plus fuel surcharge which varies with the fuel prices.

As far as container companies go. The only one I can recommend is TXN as that's all I have worked for. They have gotten slow at times but the people are amazing. A company that's always seems to have work though is XPO

Do you need your own authority running ports? Thanks for the video

@@kwallace1912 I don’t think so cause I live up near Anderson South Carolina. I don’t know where all they deliver to the recruiter didn’t tell me but once I speak with him today I’m going to ask him to put me in touch with someone down there in Savannah so I can see what’s what. I have a grand baby coming in a few months & I wanna be home for that. I pull sand now in frameless dump. It’s ok I’m paid by the hour home everyday off weekends and they bother me. I pretty much do what / how I wanna & usually I bring home between 7-900 a week but it does vary in the slow times & being it’s a 28ft trailer alota jobs don’t look at it as class A experience so I was just looking for something to get me about some experience and retirement and then move forward in getting me a truck
