how about a discussion on wages/benefits regarding tanker drivers?
give as much detail as you feel comfortable, area of the country,$$ per hour,per load/mile etc. a typical days work is how much $$ ....etc.. what specific types of equipment or types of product you haul. how many years you been tanking. satisfied with the job or not etc.

There are a lots of variables here. And to really give you an honest answer, you need to specify what type of tank pulling that you are interested in. And as far as benefits go, every company is different.
I started messing with tankers back in the mid 60s on a part-time basis, hauling fuel. And even after retiring from a major LTL freight company, I worked part-time hauling fuel. Then I went full time and hauled milk in tankers for over 5 years. -
okay, can you share what was the $$ hauling milk? fuel?
what ltl did you retire from? (congrats on retirement) -
Many tankers are paid percentage and rates vary customer to customer . Really too much to get into .

my last tanker job was as follows: small for hire fuel hauler (we transported for exxonmobil, shell, bp, marathon, etc.) located in ft.lauderdale, fl. non-union, same as almost every fuel hauler in this area
currently. the cheapest paying trip was $30 (1.5-2.5) hours of work. majority of trips paid $40-$45 (2.5-3.5) hours of work. no pay for pre-trip, no pay for post-trip, no pay for fueling. any delay time we had to give a minimum of one hour (delay at rack) etc. basically, your paycheck consisted of only what the trips paid. any other lost time due to traffic delay, waiting on your truck at beginning of shift, or breakdown. you either didnt get paid for it or only partially. obviously didnt matter if you worked 80 hours a week, no overtime pay or no night time or weekend pay. so a 13-14 hour shift, you might do four $45 loads. gives $180 for the day. making about $13 per hour. i forgot they also deducted a small amount per week for uniform allowance. -
what type of products do you transport? -
