    I have not been to that terminal, but I can tell you so far A&R has been a good company to work for. Every terminal manager or dispatcher I have dealt with has been very friendly. You always have the option to run out of any terminal. I do a lot of out and back regional freight out of the Morris terminal (typically 350-450 miles round trip). For example you could get a run that delivers near Morris, then run a few out and back loads out of the Morris yard, then return to Philly when you want to go home.

    Word is Philly terminal is moving soon. Not very far from the current sight, but in a better building with
    a shop to do maintenance and pms. I've been to the current sight a dozen times or so. I'm a system driver so I get in and out as quick as I can. Most of their drivers do run local.

    Ain't that the truth. I worked at A&R for 5 years and running around empty when it was raining or snowing was dangerous. Those tanks are very light and hydroplane real easy.
