INDIAN RIVER: keeping you posted!

In my opinion, you have been misinformed. I haul milk on a part time basis and just last week, I ran over 3000 miles. From what you have written, Indian River has more trucks than the "demand". Ain't no way that I would put up with sitting 2,3 or 4 days between loads. Too many driving jobs for this type of "activity".

 

I would have to agree with XLS' s comment...unless you don't have enough experience or a boo-boo on your record that prevents going to a new job, a month of that kinda miles is unacceptable, this time of year especially. Most companies will provide transportation to orientation for the drivers they hire. You're at a company facility, so turning in your truck there and quitting so you can work elsewhere shouldn't be viewed as abandoning it.

 

as I have already said its not a "me" problem, as the Loves next to the Terminal is also full of IRT bobtails, and many of us go days without moving. so its not a me problem


ok, even if I get a new job I am going to have to move everything out of my truck, something that isn't easy and I have too many bags to take on a bus. how would I get to the bus station anyway?

so staying put is the only option I have

 

Well go broke then.

 

Maybe he's happy being not busy?

 

Yep you won't be able to retire either that would require you cleaning out your truck and going home. Looks like you are stuck there for the rest of your life god speed driver.

 

I don't plan on retiring anyway

besides, that's 40 years down the road

 

even if I retire, that's 40-45 years down the road. things will be different between now and then...I hope

 

Nope in 20 years you will still be in Clovis waiting for your next milk load, change only gets harder the older you get.

 

maybe, I don't know. I hope not though

I don't plan 20 years down the road
