Hey guys!
Just wanted some opinions on the company and any info on the terminal if you had any. Right now I pull dry van OTR and have been wanting a change. I know I'll have to put alot of hours in, but its still alot more home time. What can I expect pulling end dumps? Also not afraid of hard work as I was digging ditches before driving truck (literally) lol Also do you guys know if it's slip seat or assigned trucks? Yhanks in advance!!

Do know they are a solid co. Used to pull dumps and ran into them a lot. Always have nice red shiny trucks, some sleepers and a lot of day cabs but sell them before they are too old. You'd be amazed what they haul. The list is long. http://www.beelman.com/riverterminals_venice.html
Drivers say they run 35-450HP. -
Used to see those Beelman drivers a lot when I picked up lime loads in Ste. Genevieve, MO with dry bulk tankers.
Every one I talked to was content working there.TinMan89 Thanks this. -
Ok thanks guys for the replies!

I have a buddy that lives in Indy and drives for Beelman. He likes the company, runs all over the region and is usually home on weekends. He has an assigned truck with a sleeper but Beelman pays for a room once or twice a week so he can relax outside of his truck. It's hard work, especially in winter when a load freezes to the dump bed but if that isn't a problem for you then by all means, be confident that you are hooking up with a really good company.
TinMan89 Thanks this. -
I use to work for them out of the ste. Genevieve MO yard. Great company with a lot of really good old hands to learn from. I pulled tanker and end dump for them. Always busy and never had a complaint. Money was decent and equipment was well maintained.
TinMan89 Thanks this. -
I see them running in Illinois down 55 alot along with NWI down US 41... Looks like good equipment... The down side is super singles... Im guessing they pay percentage of load...
TinMan89 Thanks this. -
I used to work for them out of the Madison yard. I was in Indiana a lot. Percentage pay and decent equipment.

Indy terminal Judd are terminal manger is a stand up guy Mitch head of Maint top notch most of us are good guys we try to help out the new guys as much as possible with plenty of tips and tricks to help keep loads from freezing up on you and save shovel time, 99% of are trucks are sleeper truck as most of us run over the road. Baltimore is as far north east I have gone we have a couple runs going to the U.P. Michigan South for us is typical Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi South west Texas Mid West Missouri North west Iowa, Trucks New trucks and trailer's are supposed to start arriving in December. My truck I got 2 years ago with 98k on it and now have 313k
Most of are drivers are home weekends usually Friday afternoon/evening till 530 Monday morning some weeks we don't get home till Saturday afternoon, we washout are own trailers at the yard when ever possible otherwise dispatch will let you know where to go out on the road routing is up to you as long as the load get there on time and you get the next one on time nobody cars how you get there. Fuel is Pilot/ Flying J ,
Insurance for single drivers is free but rates are low for those with family, we have Paid Holidays down side to that is Payroll also is off so payroll will be a day behind that week.TinMan89 Thanks this. -
The trucks seem to be all Pete's. Is that correct?
How long does it typically take to load/unload?
Are the trucks 10 speeds or auto shift?
If you could PM me your name I would like to get your name so I could put you down, if you would like?
Thanks again for everything!
