I just started with Indian River Transport today. The people seemed nice. There were no surprises. I know about the wait times with these guys loading and unloading but I still found some drivers that were happy. I figured I would give it a try.
I was given a 2014 freightliner with only 60k miles on it. Its a very nice truck.
I am sitting here at TG Lee in Orlando waiting on my first load. The load is going to Murray KY.
I have pulled tanks hauling chemicals just never food grade. This is going to be a new adventure.
I have been on this forum before just thought I would come on here and tell you how my journey with Indian River goes.
Maybe I should go take a nap it might be a while on this load. Thats fine it doesn't deliver until 21:00 Sunday in Murray KY.
I will give you good and bad as it happens.

Was interested in these guys a while ago. We have a lot of OTR tanker companies in/around Cleveland so, I'm considering a few of them; they can get my better home time and pay/benefits.
Indian river never fell off my radar, but they did drop a notch or two once I dug around my home town.
Keep us updated.Deadhead75 Thanks this. -
Best of luck. I hope it's everything and more than you think.
Deadhead75 Thanks this. -

Cabwrecker I will update everything as it happens. Good and bad. -

(Yes, I've been posting elsewhere asking questions about this and that. Reason for this is that I want to get out of gas hauling. Been doing it for two years and I'd like to have a better chance at extending my life expectancy. Sorry for the digression.)Leftnut Thanks this. -
I dropped my load in Murray Ky and picked up an already clean empty trailer, so no trip to the tank wash.
My next load I am deadheading 450 miles to pick up a load that goes 158 miles. I dont care thats fine with me. Its .37 loaded and empty. Picking up unpasteurized milk in Montpelier Oh going to Coopersville, Mi. Then I am already pre planned to pick up in Coopersville, Mi at the same place I am delivering to, going back to Murray Ky.
So far so good. -
Paper or elogs
-
They use paper and elogs. I chose elogs. I have been using them for a while and I am able to make plenty of miles and I have never been a neat person with my logs. I like elogs more than paper.
Blowflyrip Thanks this. -
That 37 cpm,
is that practical miles ?
Thanks
