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

Thanks much. Very helpful. Can anyone speak to the approx miles? Aslso, can I mention. A name or unit # for a easy referral bonus...if applicable .

 

Thought I answered alll these already guess my posts don't show up, miles are up and down mostly up if you have your own set of knee pads.

 

Giant I believe he is talking about numbers not up and down. I have been watching this tread for a while and just logged on to help the man out.

Jaybird if you just look at the last 10 pages of this post you will see the miles are terrible. They do more sitting and waiting then running. I doubt if you can get 2,000 miles with this company from what I see. I also heard they don't get paid detention, and from their website. I believe you don't get layover till after 2days w/no load. R u kidding me. NO one is going to give you their truck number because they don't want you to know who they are. When they didn't tell you the truth. Just do a little research its all here. Very interesting thread to read.

There are way better outfits out there. Stay away from this grave. Have a good day.

By the Way Giant were you at the Bosselman/ pilot truck stop/Grand Island last night. Parked with your truck facing scales? If so I was parked right behind you but to the right with the miller beef trailer.

 

Truck 906 I aint afraid of #### and I speak the truth about everything, yes I was in grand island last night but that truck wasent me I stopped showered n left.

 

Think truck was 611. Yes you do speak the truth. But it was not the thing you were saying. It was the thing you wasn't saying. As far as numbers go. Just giving him the heads up. Seeing your trip from Tn, to Cali was what about 16-17 hundred miles and you didn't get loaded to the following week, and you even complaining about all the sitting you do. I was just letting the guy know to go back in the thread b4 waste his time with indian river.

 

Also I think I may have seen the pay and the layover amount of time on another tanker thread because it was not on their web site. So is it true. You don't get layover until after 48hrs? and they are only paying .35-38cpm but don't quote me. How that company has anybody working there amazes me. Good day.

 

Got this from 1st page of Tanker yanker forum and had a list of tanker companies. Notice IRT doesn't get detention. Well I'm sure they do, but the drivers never see it.CARRY TRANSIT (1 year O.T.R. required, or, Student grad from approved school in top 3% of class. Superior Carriers sister company)
