Indian River

Imo when you're talking about Tanker I think of IRT, well food grade at least, plus there's not really a thread for Bynum that's why I'm posting here.

 

Nice big lot you guys have here in Cordele, GA. Right next to a Love's too, probably one of my favorite location!!

 

My first 6 months here I hated it. The long waiting, and the lack of detention pay soured me on tank work. My first ever load was milk heading back to Winter Haven and I got beaten up by the surge so badly I was ready to quit, but I didn't. It was in the midst of 2020 lockdown and local jobs were pretty much non existent so I figured I had better stick it out for a while.

Eventually things got better as far as the loads and my income increased. The long wait times and surge are still there, but I make enough money and the job is easy so it balances out.

Point I am making is give it some time to see if you make enough money to make it worthwhile. I'm glad I did.

 

Yeah, I see what you're saying, I'm guessing milk has more surge than orange juice, I've only been hauling orange right now, like now, I dropped a dirty tank in Cordele, got a relay from another driver, it's going to Chicago but I'm dropping at a tank wash in Gary, IN and that's orange juice also. I only really the surge when going through the city, but yeah, if in the future they can wash the tank with baffles in them, than that would be great!!

 

Thanks, will try it out, another thing, I don't like going through the hills/mountains with a loaded tank...

 

Yeah, the West Coast scares me... I just don't like when I brake, I can feel the surge, I'm scared that if a car slow down in front of me, or if there's traffic on the hills/mountains and I break, the surge is gonna push me into them especially when facing down.

 

You gotta quit being scared of your own shadow. The west coast is no different that anywhere else. There’s a few hills but nothing that can’t be handled.

 

What he's gonna hate is being governed 65 or 68 and those 75 and 80 mph speed limits lol. I know I do.
