    Beelman is hurting for drivers. They won't require experience.
     
    DC818 Thanks this.

    Literally right down the street from me so I'll check them out on Monday. My school's yard was right on the same lot as them by Flying J.

    Yep. I'm leased on but know they are wanting tanker haulers. May get dump if that's what they're needing but there's money in both.

    How do you like working for them? I need to take my tanker endorsement but can get that done easily. What would you recommend?

    No endorsement required for pneumatics. I pull a dump but they're decent. For a company guy the benefits are great. Recruiting could give you a good run down of it but your health insurance will be fully covered just for you and cheap for any family. Good vacation. Just gotta deal with typical dispatch BS at times. But the equipment is usually decent aside from a few lemons. Of course I only deal with trailers now but I was a company guy awhile back.

    I talked to several Beelman drivers when I sometimes hauled lime out of Ste. Genevieve. Seemed like a good bunch of drivers and content working for Beelman.
     
    DC818 Thanks this.

    I've been trying to find the name of the company but can't remember it to save my life. I looked that up but nothing...

    I said that because they are big on split shifts to avoid paying time between unload and load.
     
    DC818 Thanks this.
