    Ran breifly with another Indian River driver the other day....he was getting a ton of miles and said the work is there if you want to run but admitted the pay scale wasn't real good..

    I talked to multiple Indian River guys while stuck in South Kearny by the tank wash. I never heard a complaint from a single one which you rarely find.

    Tell me you don't plan on cooking the dog in the microwave!
    You really should use a charcoal grill for the best flavor.
    Just my opinion.

    Ya I hear the same thing as groundpounder, plenty of miles but pay isn't .42cents it's more like .35cents a mile, I did see that Indian River has like 15 brand new Pete 386's sitting at the Pete dealer on US27 in Haines City

    Oh ya and they have changed their logo on the trucks a little, I will try to post a pic I got of one Wednesday night. It was a brand new 386 Pete that hadn't pulled one load yet.

    You get .32 Cents @ mile...treated like #### and never get home. Got New Petes that run but forget the micro and refrigerator. It sounded good to me too...until I went there. I worked there two weeks and told them where that Pete would fit well!!! :biggrin_2551:
