As I've posted before, I've been considering buying a truck and flatbed, getting my own authority and running around the upper mid-west. I spoke recently with a guy who has a bunch of trucks on the road and used to run flats and he basically told me to steer clear of it. All of his trucks are hauling intermodal containers now for a company out of Rochelle Illinois called Roadlink. He spoke highly of them. So, now I'm thinking about leasing to them holding off on the idea of getting my own authority for now. Saves me the trouble of buying a trailer+tarps+chains+whatnot, and it's leasing is less to bite off than getting authority.
I don't know anything about intermodal so I'm looking for any info/advice to help me make an informed decision. Also, any info or experience anyone has had with Roadlink would also be appreciated.
Thanks.
