IRT Indian River Transport $1500 BONUS

The fuel solution comes with the route plan. Flying j's, pilots and loves is where they get their discounts so if you can't find one on any route before your outta fuel there's a problem. You help they will help you. No detention time yes BUT these trucks run faster than any company I've ever ran with as a company driver and for that equals more miles on the same clock as long as you keep in the fuel reward parameters. Miles are never an issue sooo what does that say? Any company can pay .50 a mile BUT are you gonna get the miles and is your truck going to let you run? THATS the difference. I would rather let a company like IRT let me do what I do best and not be restricted because of equipment limitations. I'll take the waiting cause I know I can make it up on the back end.

 

Well it's different for everyone I guess. I expect it to happen sometimes if it became an ongoing problem then I would have to raise a big issue. I talked to a lot of drivers for IRT before and during orientation and they all said the same thing. Yea it can and will happen but take the bad with the good, do your job and they will do theirs. Drivers come in the ######## and moaning because they don't like something, the door is open to leave. Anyone who's driven truck longer than two days knows two things, there are no guarantees with loads cause stuff happens things change and there is no such thing as a perfect company. So far I like what I see, I like how I'm treated, love the equipment and I will do my part.

 

I don't drive like an animal but I do like having the ability to do 70 when the speed limit permits. Smooth bore tanks are no joke so for me it would beat me to death trying to drive like a maniac thru town nor is it desirable. I have kids and a family I sure wouldn't want someone driving like that around them so it's just common sense. It actually depends what truck you have, KW, FL, and 2014 Petes with cummins work off a manageable 6.6 mpg and no more than I think 30% idle time. If you can stay better than those numbers you get +5 added to 65. If your in the new Petes with PACCAR MX you get 65 and that's it.
