Indian River

Yeah, you got lucky with that. It's definitely only 150 miles from the farm. The dairy plant doesn't qualify.

 

IRT took over the Southeast milk routes out of Okeechobee FL. The farms and the 3 main customers are all within 150 mile radius. Legally you could run nonstop 24/7, but that's way too much work for me and safety might eventually say something if they caught on.

 

Finally got my paperwork 8 hrs later, lol! Woman in the lab would have gotten it done faster if the person above her would have listened to her suggestion to start the process over from the beginning. Drove far enough to get in range of dropping Monday in Spokane.

 

I do the same thing unless something goes wrong.

 

Well today truck will be fixed. Dealership did find a air leak which currently plan is unless it's very bad. Will be fixed later on.
Also dispatch is having me bobtail home. So going from Newburgh NY to Maine. That's just a insane bobtailing home. I actually called to double-check after I saw that message.

 

They aren't shy about deadhead or bobtail miles. On more than one occasion I have come off hometime in Winter Haven and been told to deadhead to Bensalem PA or Mission TX. To get me home I have dead headed from Toronto Canada, to Laurel MD, grabbed a load of milk delivering to Decatur AL, then deadheaded from there back to Winter Haven.

My very first dispatch fresh out of orientation I was told to grab a tank and head to Indianapolis. No address, no load information, just start driving in that general direction. I stood in dispatch for a minute staring at them waiting for the laughter as I was sure they were pranking me.

 

When I used to work at IRT they would regularly have me deadhead to Tulare, CA from home (Tulsa, OK)

 

Currently based what pay I have been getting. It's about the same as my previous company. But less miles. But that's partly because trying to keep me in certain areas to get pump training.
I did notice I need to contact payroll on Monday. Because the hazmat load I did. Shows the same cpm as others.

 

I hate when I get the slow pump and it takes 30 minutes to fuel….
