You nailed it , I dropped my haz mat
Still have tanker and doubles. But not worth the aggravation to screw with haz mat. Rolling target and harassment.

Yup , gas hauling as a owner operator went from 300k to 180K and 10 times the amount of aggravation.....
12,000 gallon loads to 10,700 truck takes the loss . Waiting in line at the racks (we turned the pumps down for safety) waiting time is free......truck also takes the loss .
Etc......

Marathon refinery here in St Paul Park will be entering it's 4 month on strike in May.
Drivers are non union but the plant operators are teamsters. They continue to operate at less than capacity w management and out of town workers.
We won't cross the picket line but the contractors who cross are paid 1500 per day.
Some are company drivers and some o/o and both probably hope it goes for a while longer..lolsnowman1980, bzinger and Cat sdp Thank this. -
Lumper Humper and kylefitzy Thank this.

That sounds good. Rare and unexpected for a company to treat it’s drivers with respect and pay them well.
I’d be sticking around too.
I work with underground tanks,
We did some work at a truck stop that had a tanker delivery every 8 hours. -
