NEWARK, NJ...ContainerPort Group, a 100% owner-operator intermodal hauler, reports plenty of freight in their system. While most of the trucking industry struggles to compensate for reduced freight tonnage, ContainerPort contractors are loaded and running. Even though ContainerPort freight is also down, it has not declined to the extent of general freight and special commodities. Owner-operators leased to ContainerPort Group are busy and have a surplus of freight, creating opportunities for additional contractors.
ContainerPort Group has terminals in Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Detroit, Indianapolis, Levittown, Louisville, Newark, Norfolk, Kansas City and St. Louis.
Daily loads are available out of the Newark, New Jersey terminal. ContainerPort no only hauls out of major sea ports, but railheads as well. One trip to the docks to load is all it will take to convince most drivers of the sheer volume of container freight to be moved. The company is presently leasing contractors in Newark, NJ.
ContainerPort Group is exclusively an owner-operator company and that is why they strive to offer their contractors one of the best pay packages in the industry. An excellent fuel surcharge program, coupled with a fuel discount network allows owner-operators to buy their fuel for as little as $1.35 per gallon. Base plate and insurance program are also offered, including an owner-operator major medical plan. You can also earn an extra $1,200 just by operating your truck safely and additional bonuses are paid for driver referrals.
Container work doesn't require a trailer and is leasing Class "A" CDL holders with 2 years experience. A hazmat endorsement will allow a greater choice of freight at a higher rate and is preferred. ContainerPort can help you obtain your hazmat endorsement if you like. The container business is a growth industry that is not impacted as severely in economic downturns. Typically if imports are slow, exports become busier or the reverse. If ContainerPort Group can help you get loaded up and running, give them a call at 800-844-9340 or log onto www.containerport.com.
