We pride ourselves on our delivery services and make sure that
our deliveries are prompt and on time. We operate
6 days per week, accommodating both short and long haul deliveries
with tanks and flatbeds. With our growing
terminal base, we offer transporting capabilities throughout the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. In the world of
growing technology, F.T. Silfies will focus on growing our fleet with
mobile and satellite tracking capabilities so
we know where our equipment is all the time.
At F.T. Silfies Inc., our drivers are our biggest asset.
Many of the drivers our industry is hiring don’t come from a
competitor with
tank truck experience, nor do they have a pump, blower,
compressor, intransit heat, fittings and all
of the other
accessorial equipment some of our tractors require. In most
cases, they have never had the experience
pulling a tank or seen the
many configurations that a tank can be set up with. Does
this make them a bad hire or
unqualified? Class room experience is essential and
valuable in order to properly and safely operate the offloading
equipment and understand the harm that some products can
cause, but the first time a driver feels the surge of liquid
or
dry commodities push the tractor, it’s often a wake up call
and a time of tense steering wheel gripping. We
want
to make sure our new hires know exactly what they’re in
for and who better to train them than an experienced
driver
who does it every day for a living.
