    Well here the Qwik Trip trucks are actually run by gemini or Coastal or another fuel hauler but they run with the QT trailers, I don't know what they pay but I doknow this if you are actually with QT that you will be very well compensated for your labors, They take very good care of their employees, The clerks in the stores start about $1.25 an hour higher then the Circle K a crossed the street, They do really well. I wish you luck, Hopefully someone in that area will pipe up ad let you know the answers to your real questions!

    He is looking for Kwik-Trip not QT. QT does none of their own. I did 5 last night Plano, Denton,McKinney, Westlake, and Duncanville. All around DFW area. They don't pay well at all. They are cheap skates. Good for company drivers as we get minimum based on mileage. Shortest one pays $45 up to 19 miles. $57 for longer like Denton, McKinney etc. UPT, Groendyke, Keene haul for them in this area. Just got letter that they are taking on 4th company and all will have to give up a few stores for them. Just trying to get more cheap bids. They used to pay our owner opps $120 min. Dropped that to $70 so they all told QT to F off. They are mostly good to deliver to. Designed with drops away from customers. They are trying to be the WalMart of gas and doing pretty good job in this area.

    Hauling gas is a great business, I did it for 6 yrs, loved it. But it's a business that needs intense concentration otherwise it will bite you in the hacienda, especially when loading at the rack.
    Good luck

    I haul 91 non-oxy, but it technically is not to be sold for modern vehicles...

    The non ethanol is legal for modern vehicles. Just certain areas of the country have been ordered by EPA to use reformulated. DFW area must use. Go a couple of counties away and you can get it without every day. Same with Houston, Austin, etc. It sucks as far as mileage and engine wear go. But it is good for business as we haul many loads a day to racks. So do all the other carriers in this area. Probably in excess of 200 loads a day.
