    Took a load of milk from Chicago to Atlanta. Dh to florida for load of cream going to buffalo NY.
    I have had trouble getting through to dispatch on phone. This new system is aggravating. No one seems to know what's going on !

    Any thoughts ?

    For those thinking of joining Indian River,here are some facts you need to know.
    1. Starting pay is .24c/ml + .08c per ml cost of living expense = .32c/ml.
    How dose this affect you? If you get hurt on the job your compensation is based on .24c/ml not .32c/ml. Same as applying for a mortgage or any other credit. Worse yet if your building for social security it too is based on .24c/ml. not your full income.

    2. Miles are unreliable and fluctuate.

    3. You don't get layover pay until after 48 hrs and then it's $50. If you wait at a customer to load/unload 24 or 36 or more hours, it's your loss, detention and layover pay is rare. And even then you'll have a fight on your hands.

    4. 2003 was the last per mile raise, however you always hear "were working on that!"

    But you may get to drive a new pete? It's not a bad place to work as I hear drivers say.:biggrin_25510:

    I think different trucking companies may be like Dante's " different levels of hell "
