The site I applied to indicated your schedule would be regular in hours and days until someone left or until 2 drivers could agree to make a switch. It wasn't rotating hours or days off. Fuel is a 365 business so you work holidays as they fall on your work days or not. You get bonus pay or bonus hourly pay for holidays. They provide money for uniforms and safety gear. It seemed like a good gig, it was too much like my last gig which I burned out doing. I didn't want to jump from one Groundhog Day into another Groundhog Day over and over. I also didn't like looking at 12 hour days for as far as the eye can see. I work just to eat groceries and live indoors. If I could pay my bills working 8 hours per week I would. I think the base hourly pay after training was $21-ish, and they pay overtime after 40. There are regular raises.JimTheHut, SidewaysBentHalo, NavigatorWife and 4 others Thank this. -

I went to the fuel racks in Birmingham,Al & it almost looks intimidating with all of those fuel racks everywhere, how or why so many of them?
I did talk to a few Fuel delivery drivers & got more info, they all said it was simple once they learned the system.Last edited: May 26, 2018

Racks are easy. I was bored this winter so I helped a friend and did fuel/kero deliveries part time, piece of cake. Biggest issue is to never overfill the truck or a tank and never cross drop! With the advances in automation bottom loading is almost brainless and really clean. Top loading (had to for kero where I was loading in Macungie) was smelly and could be messy but even that was simple enough.
Getting my card for Buckeye Allentown and Fullerton was as simple as asking for it, no test or practical, Macungie took about an hour of review and training. Only messed up once at the rack, no spill but I tripped the Scully alarm because I misjudged how much would fit in my #1 compartment. Thankfully the tank monitor did it's job and I learned a valuable lesson, if unsure always triple check!
As for pay rates, not sure about the rest of the country but here in Northeastern Pennsylvania $24 an hour seems typical for both the transports as well as the bobtails doing home deliveries. It was simple and fun, may do it again next winter since that seems to be my slow time with the trade show and seminar circuit as a safety consultant.Klleetrucking, speedyk, NavigatorWife and 1 other person Thank this. -
21 an hour??? geez i was thinking they were one of the better paying companies. all the beginner driver companies around here start at 19-21 an hour, & fds & williams tank lines start at 24 with ot after 8 - sentinel in sacramento starts at 26

Well that's great and all, but van De pool , sentinel and fds all pay overtime after 8 or 40 here in Stockton and Sacramento so well yea ...... 21 an hour with or without ot is simply low pay .... You'll be needing to work 70 hrs a week every week for the entire year never missing a day or 2 or 3 to earn your added up amount, while you'll earn that working 55-60 hrs a week at other places --- and there is no guarantee what so ever that you are going to work 3640 hrs every year due to any number of reasons - moral of the story, 21 an hour is crap and you can do and deserve better -- my 1st trucking job was 22 an hour ot after 8 and 40
