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

I had a new pete and had it locked in at 75mph. I had to put up with it at 65 for a few trips then i brought it back into the yard, they read the ecm and saw that i was within the guidelines and erased the driver reward program since it wasnt working right and just locked it in at 75 on the pedal and cruise control

i am now in one of the brand new internationals (local/regional truck) and it also runs 75

 

So dfa pays them for me to run from carlise pa to fair oaks just to run a 120 mile load to huntley when they got more then enough trucks sittin there waiting in fair oaks.

 

Thats the way it was explained to me. Plus since river took over the operations up there they're contracted to have x amount of trucks available each day. I always hated sitting up there preplanned on a Louisville waiting to load and looking in the cooler and seeing a bunch of spartanburgs and baxleys preloaded with no drivers for them.

 

Sadly, there is no more Pet Dairy in Baxley, GA. They closed down back in march

 

You get a block pay on them shorties if u go back to fair oaks to reload

 

They pay Randy McNally air plane miles . Start you put at .24 cent a mile . You get no detention pay . Under there new fleet manager program average 2200 to 2500 miles if you can live on the cheap pay go 4 it . Been here 5 months made whopping 7700.00$ yee haa. So im averaging 385.00 a week that something to rite home about dont you think .. I'm fixing leave cuz that's not enough doe live on road pay house bills and feed kids to . I've complained every week not getting alot of miles they said I was over the average that everybody else is getting lol ok . But you got them super truckers there they say there smoking the big money . You see them when you come abored they spend there hard earn monies on chicken lights sticks polishing the tanks o and wheels . If you get 1 of the Petes with cummings in it you don't ideal a lot it will fo 75 . If you ideal alot it will do 65 .

 

Got 1 of the super high miler truckers next to 1 of the braggers on the miles he's getting hmm . Spending his money on crhome to put on a company truck that he has the nicest truck in the fleet . I think it said inthe contract I signed no stickers or adding of lights or others to truck . Plus no pets I've seen all the above here . Guess there either dumb or couldn't read . Me personal I wouldn't b spending money on a truck that wasn't mine just look like a show boat . But I've seen the mentality here isn't very high .

 

A guy in my orientation got a new International and I got a garbage truck, go figure......He called a couple weeks ago and said he liked the truck a lot and was running pretty good..

 

I liked that run, usually just deadheaded me home from there. Just put in my online app today. Need to get back out there. Almost went flatbed but the more I thought about it just something about pulling foodgrade I like
