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

I picked a load up on the yard last night going their, woke up this morning to a msg saying need to be on time, the load sat on the yard for nearly 2 days now they want it 1200miles overnight

 

So what's the big deal about driving a tanker' is what?
Never being home, sitting waiting to pump/off, having to pay the spotter to spot your trailer, load refusals, ? What?

I'm hoping to drive for "Heniff" or "Oakley", I've been driving for 22years but have no 'tanker' experience.

How do tankeryankers benefit from driving a truck is my question?

 

In food grade there is no benefit

 

Chemicals is a better deal I think.

 

They have made a few FALSE complaints to the office about our drivers over the years.. I know they complained about me and it was all BS. The Manager of the plant cries to the office continuously.

 

What a class act the tank wash in Wilmington De. is. Been here since 5 pm. They are open til 11pm. They said my tank would be ready tonight. Now the are shutting down at 9;30... said your not loading until tomorrow at the port, we'll have it ready tomorrow. Last time washing here they can KMA!

 

Certainly no benefits at Indian River

 

Need to get the mattress in this truck replaced next time I'm in winter haven, it's getting to where I can only sleep so long before my back starts throbbing. Whoever decided it would be a good idea to put a steel plate on the bottom of the frame needs to be killed.

 

Load sits on yard for 2 days dispatch says it can't be late, they bug me the whole way here wondering when I would be here "they need the product" get here and here I sit

 

Are you in 906? I just pulled in at 7:45
