Papco Transportation

Needless to say its "propane". So naturaly its busy in the winter. But we work year round. Drivers will come and go, I would keep in touch with them. I was hired in June of last year, so whats that tell you! Like anywhere else, they might not need drivers today, but they need drivers.

 

The job is great, I get enough work in the summer. I ride mc, so I'm not looking for a ton of hours, I need enough to pay bills with a few $$$ extra. As for winter driving, easy and slow, what's the hurry in snow. coulnt get out only one day due to snow, this was the day Int 84 was shut down from the Newburgh beacon Bridge to the state line. Called dispatch, they were great about it. Yes, I love my job!!!

 

I keep the truck. Some guys park in the yard at Bridgeton NJ because they live near by. I dont know how it works if you have to pay to park it, I have my own deal with parking and I keep it to myself, truthfully, Papco isint even aware of my parking deal. As for repairs the have thier own shop in Bridgeton, but they have plenty of private shops that work on the trucks. I get work done at a shop in Albany NY when needed, 45 mins from the house. The equipment is decent, they have brand new trucks, (Petes and KW's). Pretty much 10 and 13 speeds, governed # 68 mph. Then they have stuff thats older but in good shape. I drive a 2003 Pete 10 speed C 12 engine 54 in stand up bunk. Shes an oldie bud goodie. Infact, I think their about to change me out, I'll post what they put in when I get it. Im a guy that trys to fix what I can, If I can fix an issue I will, If I cant then I cant. When I have an issue its not a problem, they tell you to get it fixed. If you live fairly close to the shop you'll more then likely go to the shop. I hear all the BS other non Papco drivers deal with, I can tell you I dont deal with any of that crap. I hear a select few Papco drivers always complaining about the dispatchers, loads, where they have to go. I used to be a manager in the energy field, I learned you just cant please everyone. And some guys just need somthing to B*&%H about. Is Papco perfect, "no", but their #### close. I get dispatched to areas, locations I dont care for, but it's the job, thats what they pay me to do, so I do it the best I can. It pays the bills!!

 

No union, dont need one. They have a 401k plan after your there a year. As long your MVR is decent the tank experiance is no biggie. You will need a TWIC so if you dont have it start the process.
