  • Container pickups and deliveries
  • Preloaded container moves

  • Intermodal terminal movements
  • Multiple loads during each shift

The account typically handles 3–5 loads per shift, depending on dispatch and freight volume.

The operation may also include occasional live loads and live unloads.

Important Freight Disclosure

This is primarily a drop-and-hook operation, but it is not 100% drop & hook.

Important

Drivers should be comfortable operating around:

  • Urban traffic and commercial areas

Despite the operating area, the position is designed around daily home time.
