[@samr5075]

For owner ops for tankers, R&J out of Iowa and Greenbelt are big here. Other than that Oakley and Kag. There's a few more out there but I know in Iowa area those are some of the bigger ones

Thank you for that Bible verse. Perfect timing. I needed to hear and understand that today. Thank you.

[@guybuddyman838]

Good chat. Appreciate it

[@FreightHauler87]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jtaran87]

First class and Tyme DC are from Owensboro KY area. Pay is shit

[@TurtleOneTankerYanker]

Those are company trucks at Time DC… but they do lease on O/O… but those cool “hoods” are company trucks.

[@FreightHauler87]

Didn’t know that, but I knew about Action Resources.

🙏forgiveness is such a beautiful strength. Thank you, Jesus.

[@stevespriggs3302]

I have never used cruise control in my life, my thinking is I'm driving the truck not a computer. Stay safe

[@FreightHauler87]

That’s certainly the way I’m beginning to look at it with the auto-brake systems, especially.

[@JustAnotherTrader]

Just looked at KAG in my area....... DAMN $.8347 CPM + $19.39/stop + $18.44/hour - Denver. I seen them hauling gas out here mainly.

[@brtecson]

they earn it💪

[@ab130]

I saw that job for Specialty Products, it says drivers average 2200-2400 miles a week. Makes me think there's either a lot of waiting or a lot of mountain driving.

[@JustAnotherTrader]

Man I would be vary careful about jake brake on ice. I remember a time near Erie, Pa when I hit ice on an empty smooth bore and the trailer started to come around. Man when I came out of the ice I just accelerated smoothly and the trailer straightened and then I pulled over and said game over for the night lol.

[@cineesti3203]

Did that happen while you were driving a Manual or automatic?

[@JustAnotherTrader]

@@cineesti3203 manual 10 speed.

[@cineesti3203]

@@JustAnotherTrader our company is saying they want to switch to automatic trucks and I'm kind of worried about the winter driving. I've been able to catch my truck on black ice a couple times pushing the clutch all the way down and straightening my truck out.

[@JustAnotherTrader]

@@cineesti3203 I hear ya, but im just getting back into the trucking game. Never driven an auto but honestly looking forward to it, no more stuck in traffic with a sore knee afterwards. I think just getting used to the slosh on the auto will be the difficult part.

[@JustAnotherTrader]

@@cineesti3203 I still think tank is the way to go. Especially the food grade side. Never seen it loaded on a rail car.

[@FreightHauler87]

@@Aissata-l5s hourly pay will depend on the company, location, and what you’re hauling. For example, a fuel hauler @ Gemini could be making $32/hour, but the same position at Sheetz pays $39/hour. In the end, both drivers make $100-130k.

[@FreightHauler87]

@@Aissata-l5s loading and unloading pay, for me, is $25/each.

[@FreightHauler87]

@@Aissata-l5s the highest paid drivers are pulling tankers, doubles/triples, over-sized loads, cars, and/or are owner-operators.
