    IRT was very liberal with us, as long as we p-u/delivered on time.

    We'd stop at the casinos, etc, but still we were on time.

    And we were some of the faster trucks on the road, and often ran in pairs.

    Used to be a lot of old timers there, good, experienced drivers.



    I'll let you figure out what ended all that......:biggrin_25513:

    he theorizes that "its because you don't have kids or a family" which I call BS on because its illegal for them to know that information without me telling them (which I don't think I did) :biggrin_2559: Jabber you ever think they might follow this thread and know you from your postings

    That poor driver....

    You do know that there is a knob that controls the temperature coming out of the vents? To the left is cold, to the right is hot. You can actually turn that knob. Yes, that's right.....it turns. Try it out. Fine tune the temperature!

    When I worked there Indian river and North American worked side by side. At the end of my Orientation class guys were asked and or picked to go with IRT or North American. IRT still could not go to Tropicana.

    I do not know at what point Indian river dropped the North American name on the door.

    The only difference then between the two was the name on the door, the day you got paid and Tropicana.

    don't turn this thread into a thread of personal attacks, no matter how dumb the person is

    its just like 123456's signature says "When you resort to name calling, you've lost the argument"
     
    d o g Thanks this.

    as long as we continue to use this as a thread to help out other drivers, help out future drivers, use as a small "hey how do you do X" or the like and we keep it clean they wont close the thread
     
    d o g Thanks this.
