Night Driving

Night driving for me is great, but i been doing it like that for years.
Some issues at night though are visibilty ( sun out see alot more , not so much at night) , as far as trk and planning , if truck needs minor stuff ( fluids , lights , air ) then do it yourself, but most major stuff is day time stuff.
I do fuel , so your more on your own and not so many chiefs watching and alot less driving hassles

 

I am in the process of getting hired at Indian River. I have no experience and just went through the full PTDI program over at Sage down in Fort Pierce. They do take students but expect to wait right around 3 to 4 weeks is what I am been seeing. Every time I’ve called, someone has answered the phone and every time I leave a voicemail I get a call right back.

 

I'm about to start a night shift with fuel hauling, it's 100x better because there's less traffic and less BS to deal with at stations

 

The ones I called were the main line and the recruiting line and I could get an answer whatsoever from anyone, shop dispatch, safety I called every number and no one at IRT ever answered. It was a huge red flag and honestly couldn't see myself going there after that

How far upstate are you? Cumberland Farms is Hauling fuel at night and looks decent. 37 to start 50 after 40.

 

Night shift turns fuel trucking from a headache into probably the easiest job in the industry. No lines at the rack, no butthead operators, minimal traffic, can easily get in and out of stations, and much less crazies coming within inches of your drop hoses haha.

 

yea only problem is I start at 2pm so my first load is always "hot". Other then that its ez
