Profile For Junkyard Dog

I do local intermodel in KC with Marten. Been there 1 1/2 years. Love the company. Home daily, weekends off. Made just over $76,000 last year, paid hourly.

Been with Marten for a year doing intermodel out of KC. Love it. They are tough on safety but I believe they care about the drivers. Made me take a sleep apnea test...they pay for my CPAP, supplies and I have a sleep coach. Inclement pay, don't want us driving in snow storms. We had a slow Winter in KC last year and was paid 7 days to stay home. Some people complain about everything. I found a place to retire.

Grumpy...Local in KC now for a year doing intermodel. Love it though the crappy chassis are a challenge at times. Hope all is well with you brother..don't miss the Winter weather. My company pays me not to drive when they deem it too dangerous. Be safe Grumpy.

RIP Jopa.

I'm not required to drive a day cab.👍😁😁

Day cab is the only drawback of my intermodel job. Making much better money, home nightly, weekends off unless I want to make more. Inclement weather pay $250/day if we can't drive. Got paid for 7 days this Winter. Supply chain delays are affecting us right now. My manager called me last Wednesday that we didn't have anything that day, stay home. Still paid me for 10 hours. He knows I'll do whatever for our company...and he appreciates it.

Congratulations on the new job. I don't miss nights, and I only work weekends if I want. Isn't it nice to have a normal life again? Good for you G-Town.

Yup we grew again. CFI just completed the purchase of this Missouri based company. Come along for the ride.

Did CFI buy Transport America? There is a yard by Norfolk Southern Intermodel in Kansas City that has both companies trucks there.

One week of so called training and they put you on your own?

Congratulations! Sounds wonderful, sir! Are you transporting several containers a day, making multiple trips? Or is it one long haul and back? Do you get paid hourly?

I do whatever they need. One day was a run to St. Louis, usually stay within a 75 mile radius...also run chassis between rail yards. Paid hourly so if I'm sitting waiting to get unloaded/loaded I don't care. Only drawback is you miss a bunk sitting for hours.

Got my CDL kind of late in life. Loved my first company, my trainer...mid sized company. Made good money...more importantly got the experience. 3 plus years before the girlfriend let me know this wasn't working for her. I totally get that. One application and the offers flooded in. Found my ideal fit in Kansas City. Doing Intermodel...just love it. Home nightly, weekends off. If I want to make more...I'll work Saturdays. And backing into tight spots is easier in a day cab. Really feel blessed with this new job. Newbies, get the experience...stay safe and the opportunities will be there for you.
