Started with these guys 1 month ago and really happy so far.
Originally was going for regional work until I found out how well local work pays.
Did 3 days of orientation in Joliet,Il. was supposed to be 4 days but small class(3) drivers. One from louisiana doing a lease purchase and another from Michigan doing otr. Orientation pay is 19hr x 8.
Approx 300 trucks O/O Included and approx 600 tanks and all in exel. shape.
Have our own tank washes in Alsip and Joliet, Not sure about the other 7 terminals
We get 7 paid holidays with one of them being the fri after thanksgiving
Not quite sure how the vacation works, but I do know you get 1 vac. day for every month worked, So in 6 mo. I can take 6 days or 12 mo. 12 days. Not sure how it works after 2-3-4 yrs.
Starting Pay for OTR/Regional is 26% not sure where it tops out at.
Starting pay for local is 19hr. with ot after 8. Also not sure where it tops out at.
Ins. BCBS. with dental and vision, I'm on my wifes plan so dont know the numbers on those, Free 25,000 life ins.
401K w/co. match.
I pretty much have 5am starts and work 10-12 hrs a day. average 55-60 hrs. Got 65 hrs this week but offered to work on Sat.
usually pick up and deliver a load in the am and do preloads for road drivers in the afternoon.
We also do a lot of ISO Tanks(intermodal) We have about 70 of our own chassis all pretty new.
Another big Plus is a 5 min. drive to work.
And on my 2 day ride along with a trainer its turns out that he lives right down on the next the block from me and has been there 12 yrs.

Another week in and I'm loving this job, Got paid for 2 holidays thanksgiving and the fri after even though I was short a week of qualifying for them.
Pretty much getting 5am starts and getting 10-12 hr days, but had to use my 16hr rule this week due to Dow chemicals anybody whos been to Dow in Bedford park will know what I'm talking about.
I have worked every Sat. since starting( my choice) just cant turn down the ot money this time of year.
Everything here is relaxed nobodys breathing down your back calling wondering whats taking so long.
I'd say 75% of the loads i do are hazmat.
Its almost 6 and The Blackhawks are coming on, I got to go.
go Hawks
