    Hello Gentleman, first post and new to TTR. Was wanting to make a change from hauling OTR to local and haven seen that Sheetz is hiring in the Greensboro area. Read over some older threads in here related to Sheetz, but was hoping to pm with a current sheetz driver about requirements and usual schedules/hours. Thank Mark

    Is Sheetz the only one you're interested in?

    I’m interested in that too. They are frequently hiring in the Durham terminal too...
    I applied once but was refused because I didn’t currently have a TWIC... I do now. I was really just fishing for answers to some questions but can’t find a phone number to call someone....

    If you are hired on by Sheetz, feel free to bring me a breakfast croissant. I like egg, sausage, cheese, and bacon with mayonnaise. Thank you. :biggrin_25525:

    Do you know of other local tanker jobs in the Triad area that have a solid reputation? Sheetz seems to be growing in the area (company growth in all of their markets) and from the other threads on TTR, their drivers are appear extremely happy with them. Just getting started on my search.
    Thanks Chinatown

    I've only done OTR tanker work, but do know there's plenty of local jobs for drivers with tanker/hazmat endorsement.
    Best advice is to compare pay and benefits with some of the tanker outfits that have local work.
    There's also Estes Express and Holland that have line haul jobs and union benefits.
    Here's some more tanker outfits to check in that area:
    Waccamaw Transport Company, Inc. - Greensboro, NC >$60,000 - $75,000 a year.
    Speedway - click here for information > Apply On Company Site
    The Linde Group > click here for info > Apply On Company Site
    Eagle Transport - for questions click here for info > Apply On Company Site
     
    FlaSwampRat and M9Blanchert Thank this.

    I drive for them out of the main terminal in pa. Basic requirments are 2 years and 130 thousand verifiable miles experiance. Usually 10 to11 hr shifts. I dont know about other terminals but we have different schedules, 4 on 3 off, 6 on 3 off 6 on 6 off, and others. Any questions about other terminals I can probably get answers for.
     
    M9Blanchert Thanks this.

    Thanks 99!
    IIRC, you go to PA for training for at least a week, then a trainer? Do you have "split" shifts (work say 5hrs, then off 3hr, then on 5hrs, in a day) up there or all of them 10 to 11hr shifts? How's the seasonal effect at Sheetz, are your days/hrs fairly consistent? I've seen the pay mentioned in other threads, so would imagine they must be close or you would have said something in those threads?
    Thanks, Mark

    Pay can vary due to cost of living at different terminals, but we start at about 28.00 and top out at 29.30 per hour after 3 years. OT after 40 hours. Blue cross blue shield,vision and dental plans, 401K, stock ownership plan. Company atmosphere is great, our terminals top reason for turnover is retirement. Typical day is sign onto the truck, get a message with your work for the day and go do it. No micromanagment, if you dont have any problems you wont have any contact with managment or dispatch, but help is a phone call away.
    Yes 1 week paid training at Altoona Pa then to your home terminal with a trainer. Never heard of split shifts here. Up here in the north we slow down in winter, but still can get 40 hours. In the summer there is plenty of overtime available if you want it.
     
    M9Blanchert Thanks this.
