    Florida Rock & Tank has a terminal in Wilmington; don't know if the pay is good or not.

    The only places I know of that run that area a lot is JB Hunt (Maxton to Lumberton) CR England ( all the Smithfield plants D and H), Budweiser in Pembroke, and a few companies that hauls pigs. I don t know if they make at least what you re requesting.

    Good luck finding that in the south unless it's food service or specialized.

    Thanks for the replies guys. Guess the grass is always greener but would like to be home every day during beach season.

    Joseph if you are driving 13 years and not making at least $1k a week you might want to look. Two of the companies I talked to down here pay P&D $19 to start $25 after 3 years. No premium for OT like you get up north, but 50 x 20 is $1K a week. As for food service did that for 10 years and never again, but Hazmat/Tanker as Chinatown mentions Florida Rock or Superior out of Wilmington should pay upwards of $60K. Was just hoping to hear from someone working at one of these places so I could get the inside skinny.

    There's several Superior Carriers drivers that post on here making over $60K , but I don't think they're local drivers.

    I stand corrected but I am reasonably sure there are gasoline haulers that start 3 yr experienced at $21.hr but probably will have weekends.

    Many of the companies I had talked to when I lived down there did not want to pay, but there's always the exceptions (and the stuff I miss!) but either way I wish you luck on your search!
