Indian River Transport, Co. - Winter Haven, FL.?

roflmao - back in the Navy, that was called "hot sheeting" - you crawled in as soon as your "bunk buddy" crawled out (thankfully, I never was in a squadron and never had to do that)

 

Wow, kinda a wake-up call. Amy emailed me the ap & it had the $$ cost for family benefits per week... geez, I forgot how much it is when you don't have a union job...oh well, have to deal with it, huh?

 

drivenaway do you guys haul cream outta sharpsville pa my uncle called me today and said indian river cut the rates and took it all over

 

I don't know about sharpville. We do have several customers in central pa. Irt is a cut rate outfit.

Benefits are expensive. 88 bucks a week for single.

There are things to dislike ! No ezpass. No detention pay. And other things. For me it is worth the things I like. The pros and cons are different for everyone.

 

I appreciate your honesty, man, I truly do... the wkly $$ for benefits...we'll deal with that here at the house - I agree, so far what I've read here, the good out weighs the bad...

 

i agree i like everythng i heard i was just wondering about what my uncle i guess its a nice easy run he was on. as far as ez pass if they reimburise you for tolls i dont mind not having it alot of companys have gotten rid of it

 

Yes they reimburse for all tolls on all tollways. My operations manager asked me once to try not to take the whole length of pa turnpike, even though they pay it. He did not say I couldn't.

They also pay for out of route miles to drop down to interstate 40 in the winter when going west.

 

well amy called me today getting set for the 17th and apprently they fly me down there kinda nervours never flew before

 

Get there early and prepare to be felt up!!!
Depending on the airport be 2 hours early!!! No liquids over 3oz in carry on and if you can precheck your bags online the night before, it will save you some time there. I packed a big suitcase with all my bed stuff and used that as padding for my electronics. Kind of rough but pack carefully and all will make it intact!!! Good Luck!

 

Unloaded in Hammond , la. Took about 3 hrs. That includes wash. Consignee washes tank when unloaded after dairy load.
Got message to deadhead to mcallen TX. 650 mi and take juice load to florida 1250 mi. I am lucky I am still in southern freight lanes ! Yea !
