Coastal Plains

Any info on them,yards in Stockdale,Jourdonton,monahans,orla and kermit. Liquid Nitrogen and Crude. Thanks

 

I know this is an old thread. But did you get some info bout this company. I got orientation next month and I would like to know more before going any further.
Thanks.

 

Is this a Canadian carrier?

 

No, their yards are around Midland-Odessa area, Texas. They run mostly crude oil, but have an special nitrogen division. I start my orientation with them by next Wednesday 17th. I'll keep posting about it.

 

Talked to a Nitrogen driver working up north.
Said he made .60 p/m and either 20 per hour working on or ar a site away from home and 25 p/h for site work in TX.

 

Those rates looks good. It's just matter of how many miles you can run a week.

 

He was running st paul to Oakland,IA e. of Omaha..350 each way

 

Well 350 each way, if you can make it in one day, sound bout great. Let's see what happens, next week I have my orientation.

 

@Palma74 Are you still with Coastal Plains? Any info would be greatly appreciated (training pay, average weekly pay, good management?)

 

Sorry if I get a little bit late. Well overall Coastal Plains is a decent company to start up in cryogenic field. Training it's pay by hours aprox. 10h/day, $24/h.
If you work 6 days a week, really working, you can take home about $1500 as average.
Management is good overall. Upper management disengages sometimes a little. But the regional Managers are always there for you.
Resuming, Coastal Plains Trucking is mainly a crude oil hauling company which has a cryogenic division. I'm on cryogenic side. So, is really hard for 'em to compete against companies like Genox or LGT. And I don't wanna speak about privates carriers like Airgas, Linde, Air Products.
So, for me Coastal Plains is a good company to gain some experience in cryogenic en move on.
I hope that I have answered your questions. If u have something else on mind, shoot it. I'll glad to answer it. Be safe out there.
