A&R Transport Inc in Morris, IL

Btw, Dave Curl also told me A&R was starting a new tanker division, did you guys know ??

 

Good to hear, yes I heard they were looking into tankers. They're getting 50+ Volvo Daycabs out there in Cali to replace the emissions trucks. The automatics are setup better then some of the crappy ones out there in the insustry from what I'm hearing so that may be a good thing. Lots of goods things going on at the company with growing and doing more business plastic and other stuff. Wish you the best of luck

 

What's kinda the average running system on loaded vs unloaded miles ?? Are you getting 3000 miles a week or more, less ?? Do the terminals have showers ??

 

Miles as a system runner = 2400-3000+ depending on your hours as in a fresh book or recapping. Not all terminals have showers but a large number do. The companies deadhead average is 42% overall, system drivers are around 20-30% deadhead sometimes lower, sometimes higher. So you would be looking at 70-80% loaded miles. California drivers are usually 50-50 since your to far away from the reat of the terminals you usually run out and back.

 

Ft Worth system drivers over the past 3 weeks avered 7,500 - 9,400 miles.

 

7,500 -9,400 what ??

 

Miles. so 2500-3000+ miles per week over the past 3 weeks. I know you mentioned you would be transfering there at some point so thought I would give you a heads up on how the guys do out of there. Have a good one

 

Thanks, appreciate all the info for sure

 

I'm not saying you can't take the truck home, what I am saying is ask your terminal manager because it is his decision whether or not you take it home.

 

My numbers are very different FueltankHank. Starting with the most recent pay period and working my way back I was 54% ld on 1541 total miles; 56% on 2680 miles; 64% on 2818; 49% on 1510.

As previously stated most terminals do have showers. Highlands, Florence, and Columbus have washer/dryer.
