    This is a first for me. I picked up a whiskey tank that has no box at the back and no pump. Seems like a pretty old trailer too.

    I haven’t ever seen one like that either.

    I have pulled a few of them. They are pretty old, lighter than the regular whiskey tanks due to lack pump and heating etc.
     
    Tanker_82 and Cobrawastaken Thank this.

    Yeah I was about 32k empty and usually whiskey tanks put me at about 34k

    Is running Canada a requirement if you live in the northeast? I have an ancient DUI from way back in 1994 that prevents me from going to Canada. If I ever have to leave my local spring water tanker gig, I would probably want to stay in tankers, and Indian River is at the top of my list of potential employers.

    To my knowledge, it’s not a requirement.

    I’m not sure, but I haven’t heard anything or received any fleet messages about damage. I’m in the Pacific Northwest right now. I was at the Tulare, CA office yesterday, and someone said they had lost electricity in Florida for a bit during the storm. That’s the only thing I’m aware of.

    I was there today. The big Indian River Logo sign above the truck entrance was laying in pieces on the ground. Apart from that you wouldn't be able to tell a storm passed through.

    On US 27 cars were backed out onto the street trying to buy gas and a few traffic lights weren't working. Those were the only noticeable things in the area.
