Our company requires 2 years experience. Most nights I average $18-35/hour for all hours depending on what loads I do and how many.
I just never care about how many hours I work, I just look at my paycheck every thursday. If I'm happy with how much work I put in, then I'm happy

although I love hauling fuel and working nights and weekends are where I make the most. -
everyone is different. i prefer hourly that way i can take my time and not be stressed out and in a hurry all day or night. and i dont have to worry about losing money if i have to sit at a rack for an hour or two or have to chase allocation at a different rack. ]
DrtyDiesel Thanks this. -
Actually, BP bought out ARCO back in 1996 or so. The upper board members each received 10 million and the little guy took a pay cut along with some benefits going away. I know, I was with them then.
There is no leeway with being a major or not. In Nevada a major could only own so many stations. It was eventually called the divorcement law. The dealers were happy, the public got screwed. -
On top of that I know there's no way we could pay some of these guys by the hour because they drag their feet. If I can do a gainesville split load in 4 hours safely but another guy does it in 6, the company is making more money and I'm making more since that opens me up to run more loads within my time.
Also if someone turns a load in I can pick it up and make more money. My goal since I started was to reach $1,000 net at least once within a year. I reached that goal before my year, I worked my butt off but I felt good that week. I'm one of those guys that likes to see my company make money so I can make money.RookieJ1987 Thanks this. -

Though there's a difference between rushing and doing things quickly and accurately.
I just don't want other guys making the same money as me running less loads. That's the main reason our boss will never pay us by the hour. Too many people would take advantage of it. -

The terminal was all top loading so when the switch came to bottom loading ARCO shut the terminal down and made Vinvale their biggest terminal. He was instrumental in the rebuild of the loading racks and back then they said you could load a truck and trailer in a little over 9 minutes. But you know as time goes by the equipment wears out and parts start to break.
It's good to hear from someone that's been where I've been. If you get into a jam let me know. I'm sure I could dig up some material they would not want the people to know. Just kidding.plant Thanks this. -
If you've been there awhile you might know Billy Hunter. He lived up on Big Bear and would drive to the Colton Terminal every day. He liked it but he had to live in his vehicle just to work. I believe that most guys wanted to work out of the Colton Terminal just for that reason of traffic. I'm glad I was in Las Vegas but there too they had their problems. They closed some time ago and Williams picked up most of their loads.
plant Thanks this.
