As a truck driver, your skills are in higher demand today than ever before. While you may have many options from which to choose, intermodal trucking may be one you should seriously consider. If you are wondering why more and more truck drivers are choosing to focus on intermodal trucking, here are some of the biggest reasons for its growing popularity.
Far Less Labor
When you focus on intermodal trucking, you will have far less labor to perform as a driver. Since intermodal trucking is geared toward drop and hook delivery, this means you simply deliver shipping containers to customers, giving you no-touch freight that does not require you to spend time unloading.
Regular Schedule
As an intermodal truck driver, you will have a very consistent schedule that allows you to spend much more time with your family than if you were a long-haul driver.
