Owner operator job in Syracuse, NY
CDL-A owner operators in Syracuse, NY can lease on with Eagle Systems for local intermodal work. Syracuse, NY is the closest Eagle Systems terminal, roughly 13 miles off, serving CSX DeWitt. No dispatch yard is named in the posting, and a recruiter confirms it before you lease on.
Nearest terminal: Syracuse
The Syracuse terminal and its freight
Eagle Systems Syracuse serves Syracuse directly, roughly 13 miles from the city center. Domestic drayage is the business there, fed by CSX DeWitt (East Syracuse) rail ramp.
Equipment on the terminal profile: 53' domestic containers. The profile describes the yard as "fenced and secured yard, 30 container spaces".
The posting itself names no dispatch yard, so treat Syracuse as the nearest terminal, not a confirmed start point.
The work
How a day runs for a Syracuse owner operator
A turn out of Syracuse starts with a domestic 53-footer at CSX DeWitt (a rail ramp), continues to a customer's warehouse or distribution center, and finishes with the return. Returning the empty to the ramp closes the loop.
From Syracuse the loads stay local to you, so getting home at night is the normal end of the day. There is no forced dispatch, so how many turns you run in a day is your call.
Rules of the road
Driving in New York
A few New York rules and road projects that shape Syracuse-area drayage:
- The downtown I-81 viaduct in Syracuse is being taken down in a project due to finish in 2029, and I-481 is being renamed I-81 so through traffic uses the eastern bypass. (WRVO)
- Since July 2020 CSX has run weekday trains between DeWitt and ExpressRail Elizabeth at the Port of New York and New Jersey. (Port of NY & NJ, Breaking Waves)
