Indian River Transport, Bynum Transport

I just got off the road and Im working for TS and this first week of pay is very sad, orientation pay is late. But jobs in Florida really do suck. I am thinking of going back on the road again.

 

If you live somewhere else a Fl based food grade carrier would not be my first choice to work for as they are still not going to pay a decent per mile rate. Can't make it in Fl on what they pay you sure won't make it living else where.

 

I am a current driver looking for something everyday just no on board logs they cut you mileage tremedously . they do not get u home until u get to the point u tell them u quit .the pay is 28 cents a mile and 8 cents perdium . they run mostly northeast and you spend all ur time and money on traffic and tolls they give money back but you can tie up 500 dollars or more fast and only get 75 a day advance so keep plenty of money in ur pocket health insurance is very expensive they now have trucks 64 mph and want u to run 1000 miles overnite they will tell you anything to keep you on the road and will send you anywhere from home most drivers move from one tanker company to another regularly they hire at least 10 drivers a week and they take care of new people first and older drivers they just as soon u quit because once you learn their pattern you stop putting up with it

 

Any of you heard of Purple Cow down there in Florida? There was an ad that appeared on the Va. Employment Website for drivers in Harrisonburg, Va I did a search and found out that the company was located in Margate, Fl

 

Can't say that I've ever heard of them I run FL every week....One thing to consider seeing how the FL carriers don't want to pay anything is I see some tankers based out of GA running into FL don't know their pay scale though.

 

I ran Harrisonburg , Va to Orlando or Winter Haven for over 5 years and I never saw a "Purple Cow" truck and the ad on the Va. Employment website just raised a little curiosity in me.

 

Mostly likely, you have seen Williams out of Baxley, Ga They run a bunch of milk loads into T,G. Lee in Orlando and Velda Farms in Winter Haven and like most milk haulers the pay is cheap and cheaper.

 

I am like you never heard of or saw purple cow

 

I hate to say it but the food grade companies have become bottom feeders. And they use to be good paying jobs back in the day. I guess since there is no hazmat requirment has something to do with it.
