A+R Transport...???

I wonder if they are still in business. I used to see there truck around all the time. Haven't seen one in a while. Plus their website still says there trucks are governed at 70mph

 

I gave up on that phone number on the website I think the trucks are set around 65 now not 100% sure on that one...

 

I drove past that terminal a couple weeks ago and see there trucks all the time. They are still there. Looks like a good place to work for and they have some nice trucks.

 

They had a help wanted sign in Muscle Shoals a couple of weeks ago hanging on the fence. Pretty Pete's, and Freightliner hoods.

 

I'm not an A&R driver, nor have I ever been.

I have hauled pneumatic tanks though and spoke with their several of their drivers.

All of them were happy there as they made good money and were home regularly.

Have you tried Googling them for their number?

Sometimes a search like that will result in a different number that might get you to whomever you need to speak with in recruiting.

 

BTW the sign said $.48 a loaded mile. guess the dead head is free.

I talked to a woman who's husband was there out of Nashville. They were regional and made him go OTR when the economy crapped out.

 

They pay more per loaded mile than they do empty miles per the website but according to it you do get paid for empty miles

 

From what I've heard from the AR drivers, they seem fairly happy, over there.

As far as truck speed, it's 65mph if you use paper logs & they "open" the truck to 72mph if you use their electronic logs.

Be ready to spend a lot of time in rail yards loading plastic, however.
