now irt has been in business a long time ive worked for them twice and for starters the company started out hauling milk out of ft lauderdale fl.

the company was started by a fellow by the name of jack arnet one of the finest men i have ever worked for he was old school and was a pro and treated all his drivers like a pro.

the cpompany has grown over the years and continues to grow when jack passed away his son took it over and keep building the company along with his mother mrs. maggie and she like her husband is one fine lady, sadly she is probably past on by now she was getting up in age the last time i saw her and that was quite awhile ago but the company lives on.

now they still haul milk , and whiskey, and juice bout anything liquid encluding some hasmat.

now ive heard that they have had a problem with clean tanks but not that i ever saw if the tank wasent clean you didnt get loaded period.

now all there tanks are shotgun tanks meaning no baffels in them so if you dont no what your doing it can be a rough ride .

now they might not pay as well as some but with indian river you dont sit you got to turn and burn and if you want to make money you can if you want to work.

now i no some of you new guys dont like it but the older drivers that have shown there abilitys get most of the miles and the good runs being loyal does have its merits , and most not all today dont no what that is .

they have been known to run anywhere , if it pays they will run it but most of the time they run the west cost then back to the east coast or did back when..

they keep good equipment and they take care of it and they take care of the drivers but the drivers have to take care of the company.

would i recomend the company to anyone ? you bet i would the only company out there that i would recomend and ive known a few.

trucking companys today are like opening a can of beans there all the same if it looks like a bean it usally is no mater what the can looked like, but you can do a lot worse the indian river transport.

there an old company with an old reputation and a good one if you do them a good job they will take care of you.

best if lucl to all. southernpride

75 MPH, those days are gone...................

royalfreight790 · Feb 17, 2010

looks like 75mph dosen't exist anymore with most companys, as long as irt treats you fair and you feel like family that what counts
