Indian River

Actually it says... "We're Sorry, No Jobs Found"... Like that.

 

Hi again, I don't think I clicked the reply button on your last post to notify you, sorry. At any rate, It actually said, "We're Sorry, No Jobs Found", but I think I will still call the Recruiter, on Monday.

 

We don't solicit referral fees or discuss them on TTR. That's private business between you and whomever.

 

Oh, Ok. I should have known. Sorry about that.

 

Sounds good to me. I have talked to IRT drivers on the road when I was driving. Seems like a cool place to be. This Thread is another testimate to that coolness, Thanks Again. I will call soon. Happy Travels, take care.

 

Does anyone have any knowledge of the operations at the Bensalem terminal? I know they run regional out of there, but do they have OTR? Right now I haul spring water locally, but I have to share a truck with another driver during the week, and on my days off. I'm not a fan of sharing/slip seating. You have to take everything with you at the end of the day, and if you get a partner like I have, end up taking on all the upkeep (washing, filling fluids, etc)

I love tanker work, so I'm kicking around the idea of applying at Indian River. I live 2 hours away from Bensalem. Any problem with that?

 

You can run OTR if you want. Being based in Bensalem doesn't mean you have to do NE regional, I don't think there is even an official regional classification. There are guys that run a dedicated account and work the ports, but I would class them as local. They work Monday to Friday with weekends off.

Someone mentioned something about having to leave your truck at the terminal if you live within 90 miles but I am not clear about that or if it's set in stone.

I work primarily out of Bensalem but I'm an OTR driver with Winter Haven FL being my home terminal. The load planning comes out of Florida anyway, so doubt it really matters.

The actual Bensalem terminal is OK, nowhere as nice as terminals I have encountered at other companies but it gets the job done. The biggest plus point is it's location right off 95 and central to the two ports the majority of the loads come out of.

Any other questions, feel free to ask.

 

Hey RedTwin,
