Van Wyk Inc.

Yeah, It's a 730, if not a 780. It was dark and I only noticed in passing that it was new, otherwise I would have thought is was one of the old 600s that was getting outserviced. I still don't have enough hands-on with volvos to easily spot the difference between the '30 and '80 700.

Oh, and welcome aboard, Spyder.

 

I looked at a 730 when i was getting my truck serviced at the volvo dealership here in cedar rapids, the inside of the sleeper looked huge, lots of cabinets, and a fridge. The sleeper on the 630 i drive now looked tiny in comparison.

 

Saw the new Volvo sitting in the shop was thinking it was a 780 but I will look at it again in a bit. Going over to the office to do the safety meeting.

 

Just pulled in to Stampede Packing up in Kalispell. Little did I know, it's a ranch with a 2 plate dock and a little pack house attached.

93 is a hell of a drive, though.

Going to take the scenic route to Portland tomorrow. US 2 west to US 95 down to Coeur D'Alene, then the regular way on over. Apparently 2 to 95 only adds 10 miles over 93 down to MT28 to MT200 and MT135.

 

Sitting in beautiful Missoula,Mt got one more day of trucking before I deliver my 3 drops of ice cream on Tuesday in the Tacoma,WA area then gonna dyary heading back toward the house. You guys have a safe week.

 

i didn't see it posted here so i will ask what are their trucks governed at thanks.

 

65 on the cruise, 68 with your foot on it.

 

sorry for barging in on yalls thread...but I applied to Van Wyk over the weekend and got a call from time...I am just shy 1 year with my current Large fleet (Roehl)...hows life at Van Wyk overall..good, bad, indiffrent.....

Yall on E logs?

Crunched for Time?

do Yall Like it??

NYC runs? exta pay for?

just a few questions I don't usually ask recruiters just drivers??

 

Yes.

Generally not. Most loads are just right. Of course it's trucking, so you hustle from time to time. Taking 10 at shippers and receivers makes this much easier.

Yes. Best paying and most personal trucking job I've had yet.

Yes & Yes. I don't remember the premium, but there's "hazard pay" or whatever that you get for going into the boroughs. I've loaded and/or unloaded in the Bronx, Brooklyn & Queens, and obviously taken the scenic tours of Manhattan and Staten Island to get there.

I suppose this thread is getting a little on the long side to comb it for these details.

You live in Florida?? That's way outside of our normal lanes.
