Tanker Job

Wait! I'm confused! You have an interview with a company you don't know exists?

 

Didn't mention the company, no, no red flags there.............

 

Lol. How fo you know the interview started if you don't know the company?

Interviewer: Good afternoon, I'm John from great train fuels inc.

Interviewee: excuse me john, I'm waiting for someone actually.


Sorry OP, just busting your chops and I'm bored as hell waiting at this shipper.

 

They advertise for something like that on the St. Louis Craigslist.

 

There's a company like that in Nashville that's legit, but don't remember the name of it. The drivers complain they work too hard. Deliver a tanker load of diesel, unload it, then go get another one, back to back. I don't know what they expect and it's a job where you're home every day.
If you want local, go to the interview and check it out.

 

I know Savage fuels trains all over the country, don't know if it would be them

 

In theory, that is a great scenario. However...I hauled corrugated sheets at my previous employer, and they liked to send you out on two 6.5 hour runs. Sounds great, and is within the legal 14 hour window, but when you live in the northeast, and both turns are going to northern NJ and/or Philly, it leaves you no wiggle room for traffic and other delays.

In my case, I didn't work too hard, but I WAS stressed out all the time trying to beat the e-log clock.
