I think someone has already asked for info on this company but I cant find it. So how is this company?? I have tanker endorsement but dont have hazmat and thought it might be a good idea to try food grade carriers before getting my hazmat. So any info lemme know!!!

Don't go there! :roll You will be far better off getting your hazmat and finding a good chemical tanker company to drive for. I can speak volumes for why not to go there. You can do so much better... TRUST ME :wink:

When I pulled tankers a few years back Indian River had a really bad reputation. I would see their drivers at the tank wash and they all had the same story. Lots of miles, little pay, never home. Get your haz mat and find a good tanker co to go with or try dry bulk.

I spoke with one of their drivers and he had a glove box full of log books.

I dont think he even knew for sure which one was his current...
