Motel Sleepers Inc. This company provides motels for railroad working crews. They are based out of Little Rock, Arkansas . Out of Lexington, Va at the TA they keep some specially designed trucks and what they do is deliver food and fuel to working railroad crews. The food is delivered to the kitchen on the train and the fuel is pumped into smaller vehicles. Every so often, there is an ad on Craigslist for drivers. It is a team operation, 2 or 3 days per week. My question, does anyone know anything about this operation??

I have never seen the trucks or ran into anyone who has done this type of work and I am real curious. Sounds like a pretty good deal for a "retiree" or someone who doesn't want to work everyday. The pay isn't bad. Only drawback on my part is the "team operation".

Appreciate if someone has some information.

 

Here is the ad
