Options in PA?

Watsontown requires 2 years experience so I'm told but its something to strive for. I too have talked to some pretty happy drivers there. Schneider can be hit or miss it seems depending on the position.

I work on the International Paper account out of Western Ohio and I live in NJ. Home every weekend usually for 45 hours or so. Sometimes around 70 hours if I want but can't do that all the time or we'd go broke. It's mostly drop and hook usually running deadhead back to Ohio. I'll do about 2 back hauls a month so usually it's deliver, then turn and burn back to base so I get good miles even though it's dedicated and most customers are East of the Mississippi. There's no waiting around for a load. There's better gigs out there I'm sure, but I'm happy there.

 

Yep they're still around. They did have some issues a few years back. They have lost their authority and nearly went bankrupt from what I've been told.

They're leased to Quality now, and doing better I guess. They also bought Donmoyer out two years ago. And still holding up the process at Evansville cement mill.

 

Who is A R in all this then?

 

I don't know. The only AR I know of is A&r transport, and they don't haul cement. Think they haul plastic. The ran the blue Petes

 

With the gold ribbon as the letters? That's who I see have the old silfies trailers.

 

Hmm..I personally have never seen them pulling anything other than the bigger trailers used for plastic or food grade. Interesting.

 

Have you looked at either Yourga Trucking or Nick Strimbu?

 

I'll see if I can catch one of them. I think it is quite possible, A R just bought old silfies trailers and have nothing to do with silfies at all. I tried googling to find relation with them and nothing came up.

 

You are north of altoona, sheetz gas stations has a DC near you. I don't remember any of the details, I'll see if I can find what I found on them.

I'm talking about the reefer food product side in case you were wondering. Not the fuel delivery side.

Never mind, just looked. They want three years experience. Indeed said two years or 130,000 safe miles.

Either way, if I wasn't such a little .... I would have applied to run fuel for them long ago. They are a good company if in your future, you wish to do something local.
