    There's a company looking for drivers to run from Phoenix to Long Beach (pick up containers) back to Phoenix. They say 4 trips a week. How likely is that? Last I heard, trucks were stuck just trying to pick up containers. Is 4 trips a week realistic?

    4 round trips ? PHX-LA is about 7-8 hrs 1 way. Then you deal with the port drop and pick up. Which can be a fiasco. Is this co Duncan and sons?

    The potential time wasted at the port is why I was asking.

    I've spoken to a few of their drivers when they delivered containers to us and they have all been happy. Said ports can be a pain but they make pretty good money, are home regularly and are treated very well by the company.

    Potential? Anything that involves Longshoremen is going to include a pile of wasted time. It just works that way.

    Time spent at the port plus traffic into/out of Long Beach. Can you say "nightmare" ?
