I’ve noticed there’s a massive opportunity being missed in this company as far as overlap between the terminals. They all have tank washes nearby and I think they could kill a lot of dead miles by doing more backhauls.
My last Houston run I was lucky enough to get a load to Columbus ga on the way back. Why the system wouldn’t figure that out on its own is beyond me. Essentially they have on a regular basis trucks running overlapping routes if that makes sense.
Any Tidewater Transit drivers here?

Worked for TWT from 2004-2006 out of the Cowpens terminal before leaving for UPSF.

Has anyone run the Connecticut run? What is the best time/hazmat route to get around NYC?

Hey, I know this thread is almost a year old but just wondering if any of you are still w/ TWT? Have any of you been through the Channelview, TX ( Houston ) terminal? I'll be completing CDL school in December and I may have an interview w/ TWT at the Channelview terminal in the next week or so just looking for any insight?

MYSTYKRACER and Truckermania Thank this.

Do you happen to know how long the typical runs out of Channelview tend to be? The recruiter I spoke to seemed to be saying that most of the runs were out 2-3 days then back to the terminal? Also what are their trucks like? I see they seem to be mid-roof Volvos and I was told they were all automatics but how else are they outfitted? Do they have inverters? APUs or do they care if you idle the truck when stopped? Also what's the accessorial / layover pay like? I looked at the Channelview terminal on Google Earth and didn't seem like they had a tank wash so I'm assuming that has to be done somewhere else while you wait?Last edited: Nov 17, 2019
Truckermania Thanks this. -
Volvo midroof tractors, automatic. Can idle all ya want, so no need for APU. Can get mechanics to install inverter, up to a particular wattage...at least at our terminal.Truckermania and MYSTYKRACER Thank this.
