When I hired on in December of 2016, I brought another driver with me (I was his referral) who had worked at a previous company with me. He runs regional out of the Clovis terminal and makes 6 figures. He drives 320 miles from a dairy farm to an ice cream plant and 320 miles back each day. It’s a drop/hook on both ends. I think he does 6 loads a week. He couldn’t be happier. I’ve heard local/regional drivers in California talk about having similar runs where they haul water for IRT, but I don’t know the details of it. Point being, you don’t have to be OTR and run coast to coast like me to make a great living here. The days of sitting around for hours and hours waiting at customers have been over for a long time. I don’t know if it’s because they purchased additional trailers so that more things are drop/hook or just weeded out those customers over the years, but regardless, things are much more efficient at the company now. Once in a blue moon a guy might have a bad day somewhere, but for the most part, you’re constantly moving. A “bad day” meaning, say it’s the 4th of July weekend and everything is closed or running on a skeleton crew for the holiday. In a situation like that you may have to hang out somewhere waiting for a plant to reopen, etc. It’s pretty rare.

The above explains in large part why I have avoided food-grade tanker jobs--eccchhh!!!

How much did each water load pay?. $800 is pretty poor money. I know the dedicated guys out of Bensalem make $100ish per juice load and can run 15-18 loads per week with weekends off.
Tanker_82 Thanks this.
