Has Anyone Been To Quonset Point In Rhode Island?

New drivers generally don't haul cars as that requires several years of flatbed /cargo securement experience. We may have some intermodal drivers but those are generally local or regional jobs.
I spent quite a bit of time in Rhode Island working healthcare travel contracts and loved it, but never have and probably won't ever visit in a big truck. It's not a truck friendly state for sure.
Regional:
Regional Route
Usually refers to a driver hauling freight within one particular region of the country. You might be in the "Southeast Regional Division" or "Midwest Regional". Regional route drivers often get home on the weekends which is one of the main appeals for this type of route.
Intermodal:
Transporting freight using two or more transportation modes. An example would be freight that is moved by truck from the shipper's dock to the rail yard, then placed on a train to the next rail yard, and finally returned to a truck for delivery to the receiving customer.
In trucking when you hear someone refer to an intermodal job they're normally talking about hauling shipping containers to and from the shipyards and railyards.
HOS:
Hours Of Service
HOS refers to the logbook hours of service regulations.
I was in North Kingstown last week. Some place called Toray Plastics on Mainsail Dr. No cars involved though.

The Toray Plastic place in North Kingstown is on the street I live on! My dad actually does some work for them (he is an electrical engineer)!

It is a 3 minute drive from my house. Ships full of containers and cars are coming over all day... All you can see on the highway exiting the place is intermodal trucks and car carriers (heaven for someone like me who wants to be a car carrier).
