    Can anybody give me any information besides what the website says? For example pay, equipment, etc. I haven't pulled tanker since the oil field a few years back but...I'm tired of tarping flatbed loads lol I feel it's time for a switch.

    We share a terminal with them in Houston. I talked to their recruiter before I switched. Average pay was 65k, best trucks and trailers on the road. Their drivers seem to be happy. You will make more at Trimac if you can get on.

    I used to work at a store one of the owners of Altom would shop it. Very approachable guy. Nice equipment.

    They also own this company:

    I'm leased to Altom now. The terminal in Houston (Pasadena) doesn't have any other companies there. Maybe you could clarify.

    I didn't mean officially, they use our wash there as well as have a maintenance guy there frequently for their trailers. Drivers come in all the time. Probably 2 or 3 there as I write this. There are just as many Altom trailers there as ours sometimes. I must have been in a hurry when I wrote that as I can see how it sounds, sorry for the confusion.
