My experience starting out at A&R Transport

We do all dry bulk. Plastic pellets and some powders. They do have some liquid tanks at the Morris yard, and one of the trainers said they are looking at getting into liquid in the future. Not sure what kind of liquids they are looking at getting into.

 

So far things are going very well. We are always busy and I have been making good money. I am really enjoying hauling dry bulk now that I am getting better at the loading process. If you are looking into working for A&R we have a terminal in Atlanta. I was at that terminal a few months ago and everyone there was really nice. I talked with one of the trainers from that terminal. He was very friendly and helpful and answered a few questions I had about the rail yard we were loading out of.

 

I have not been to that terminal yet, but one of the drivers I talked to last week was from Jackson and he said he liked it there.

 

Your welcome. If you decided to go into dry bulk hauling the one thing I would say is give it time. Learning the loading and unloading process can be a little overwhelming at first, but after about three months it gets much easier. There are some guys that get overwhelmed and quit within the first week because there is a lot to learn when you are first starting out. The two main things are you have to be in decent physical shape to lift and hook up the steel hoses, and not be afraid of heights so that you can climb on top of the trailer.

 

Thanks. I will watch for you. Do you have a Pete 379 or a 386?
