    I have been with them for a couple of months. Like you I could not find much info on them. Just under 300 drivers so I guess they are not well known yet. All I can say is so far so good. If you deliver on time and follow their procedures then you will be fine. This is my first tanker job but I am enjoying it but there is a learning curve. Also make sure you do not "forget" anything on your application. I saw 1 guy sent home from orientation because he forgot a surgery he had. Everyone there has been friendly and helpful. If you have any specific questions I will try and answer them. Good Luck

    This past week I only spent 2 nights in the truck, in the prior weeks it has been 3 nights with 1 week of 4 nights but that was my decision so I could start my next run asap. So far I have only worked 1 Saturday and that was finishing up a run Saturday morning and coming home. I am really enjoying living at home again and visiting the truck. Everyone has been real helpful from the other drivers and management. I only see it getting better as I become more efficient and comfortable with their systems. Being new to tankers I don't have anything to compare it to but I am happy so far.
     
    sb677 Thanks this.

    From what I understand it is different for the different terminals. Where I am it is between 1200 and 1500 a week and so far that has been accurate.

    That all depends on the terminal. They have system drivers and regional drivers. So far I have only been in the SE.
