    Have a "friend" that is looking to finally move over to tankers.... But he doesn't know what COMPANY DRIVERS gross in Northern California......

    any chance some of those drivers are on here, could state what they gross-AND what they pay in benefits.....

    also isn't it safe to assume that chemical tankers pay more than food grade?

    Also:

    is it a pipe dream to think there are $75k+/yr tanker jobs in Northern California that offer weekends off......

    I always thought if ya wanna make $80k+ yanking tanks:that it has to be an OTR REGIONAL type of job, and not local.

    I'll give you a guess here for gasoline drivers. I'd say about average good pay would be around $23:00 an hour. May be a little lower since all the companies started selling out to common carriers.

    Yea $23 an hour with 1.5x after 40, and 60 hours a week. What I'm getting in L.A. Should be similar in the Bay Area.

    good luck with weekends off though... Maybe once every other month your Saturday will actually fall on a Saturday, if at all.

    Im not exactly sure what the "lol" is for.....Western Express (and the other 2nd chance megas out there) serve a purpose: I just happened to "get in and get out" faster than others.... My reason for going is clearly stated..... Anyway after I :Plane: Home from Western Express...... I got a local union driving job a week after coming back from Vegas (needed to unwind after my "ordeal" @ western) .....


    How long have you been driving? (Can't tell from your profile) How do you like tankers?
    does your company pay 100% medical and dental?
