Indian River

Nice write up,
Has anyone heard of pilot Thomas logistics any background would be appreciated I have a phone interview with them tomorrow. Thanks

 

What happened with Trimac?. I would try them first, but I have always been in favor of larger more well known companies than smaller unknown outfits.

At some point you just have to make the jump. If you are waiting for the perfect company you may very well miss out on good ones.

 

Understood
Thanks again

 

I was really giving Indian River serious thought as I'm both bored and frustrated where I'm at (I have to slip seat and share a truck) but now I may put it on hold to see what happens with Biden's vaccine mandate. Right now I'm with a small company of about 30 drivers, so we fall under the 100 employee threshold.

 

I got the J&J back in May. Didn't have any negative symptoms after getting it that I noticed. I did find myself napping during the day a couple days after getting it which is unusual for me, but that could also be due to hanging out in a hotel room with nothing to do while my truck was in the shop.

I see vaccine mandates or laws or passports the same way I view all the other regulations, requirements and just general hoop jumping that we have to put up with to do this job. CDL, endorsements, Med card every two years, HOS, DOT inspections, random drug tests etc.

If any of it becomes a problem or too overbearing...park the truck and find something else to do. Pretty simple.

 

No it's not simple. Changing careers has never been simple. Particularly for us older folks that are limited physically and not as adept technically as the younger crowd.

Trucking is one of the very few things broken down old war horses can do to be productive members of society and make a decent living.

Your perception is inconsiderate.

 

Changing careers, or retraining in a new field may not be simple, but the decision that something no longer works for you or isn't worth the effort is a simple one. Has been for me anyway and I only speak for myself.

That simplicity only dawned on me much later in life. As a young man I would somehow see value in toughing things out in a situation I was unhappy with. Not anymore.

 

How is everyone here at irt doing?

 

Who in this thread is a regional driver outnof California for irt?
