    How much experience does IR want?
    Do they allow intelligent life forms to ride? Otherwise known as pets.

    2 years I think. Not sure how strict that is or if they make exceptions. Florida office could tell you for sure. No pet policy when I hired on.

    No pet policy when I went thru orientation as well. This collision avoidance system in this truck drove me crazy yesterday. I-95 thru North Carolina has a lot of construction and this thing wouldn’t shut up while in traffic. I believe that wire that powers that thing might have a accident in the very near future...lol.

    Finally dropped my tank up in Jersey. They asked if I wanted to do a regional run or some shuttles. I passed . Said I need south. So I’m picking up milk in Virginia and taking it to St. Petersburg. Have done this run before. Not too bad at all.

    I’m hoping that’s my next area to run. That regional run was a Jersey to Massachusetts milk run. Didn’t sound fun to me. They bobtailed me to our new terminal in PA to pick up this tank. Nice place and several places to walk to for food. It does close in the evening and was told we can’t access the building in the evening.

    Yeah that’s how Mission is now. Last Spring when me and some others were spending a lot of time there as they were getting it open we had a code for the door where we could go inside at night. That all changed once it was officially open and they started dispatching out of it.
    I took a load from Cali to Ayer Massachusetts once. Didn’t care for that state. People were unfriendly. Try to say good morning or something when you make eye contact and everyone just ignores you unlike in the South.

    Yep. Everyone so friendly up here. Lol. I guess I would be too if I had to deal with the winter weather, the traffic, and the traffic. Did I mention the TRAFFIC??
