Indian River Transport
 
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:

Really?? I had no idea. I never knew that. :shock: I see Indian River trucks all the time. They run in and out of Lubbock quite a bit. Nice Petes.

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...

dont look good to me

Ill chek out Bynum thanks. Lots of miles and never home sounds ok to me cuz im not married or dont have kids but little pay kinda sucks!! How much does Indian River start u out at per mile any body know??? Just curious. I also looked at Ruan but it looked like they only had local gigs and regional, regional to them is 100 mile radius of their terminals and Im in Las Vegas so thats way more than 100 miles. I also looked at Oakley Transport, they looked really good but....they wanted 2 yrs experience, i only have 18 mos. exactly dont know if they would make an acception. Let me know if you guys know about Ruan otr or if Oakleys any good.
