Independent Container Lines



Today we visited our ICL account in Chester, Pennsylvania.  Our location is right outside of Philadelphia.  We help support a port operation for a steamship line.  It is an intense site with high velocity by multiple carriers.   
Here is the ICL service area.  As you can see, we are located at Chester, PA.  This is one of two ports serviced by ICL.
We met Robert Sampson at our Chester location.  Robert resides in Philadelphia.  He helps service the local operation.  Robert found out about our ICL CCF job from searching on-line for local job opportunities.  He was excited to hear that we still need 2 more Professional Drivers on our account.  It just so happens he has several friends who are drivers that might have an interest in the home time and pay of our job.  This is imperative with a successful operation---Drivers recommending Drivers as referrals.  Robert has his Transportation Worker Identification Credential, or TWIC card.  This is extremely important when you work in a high security area like on of our nation's ports. 
 Here is an example of ocean containers shipped by ICL.
Overhead cranes help load and unload the containers on ocean vessels.  
Here is a picture of the Independent Voyager, one of the vessels that helps service the international business for Independent Container Line.
