If you can't make port you can drop it on the yard and have a driver dray it meaning they take your box to port and you have to pay for it and that is usually $50 again depends on the company. Also if you can't make port you can ask whoever runs the terminal to have a driver bring the load and set it on the yard. With containers you have 20, 40, and 45 foot chassis. There is a difference between a standard chassis and a co-op chassis. a standard chassis is where a specific companies boxes go on their chassis such as if your pulling an Evergreen chassis only Evergreen boxes can go on an Evergreen Chassis. Now if it says co-op on the side then pretty much any box can go on that chassis! Also each chassis/box comes out a specific port and I believe there will usually be 3-4 ports in an area. Now if you doing rail yard work I'm not too familiar with that, I'm only really familiar with seaport operations. Hopefully I have been of some help to ya! Oh yeah if your doing seaports and your based of oh let's say Charleston, South Carolina. Your only gonna go to ports in Charleston, South Carolina since your box/chassis came out of port there it has to go back to that same port you got it out of.
Have you received your CDL yet LL ???
If so when did you start hauling cans ???
