Heniff

A little update on things here.
Heniff just bought out Sinclair cartage(SCI) in Burr ridge Il. So they have another terminal in Burr ridge Il. probably about another 75+ tankers and 15-20 tractors and more Citgo work. and a nice chunk of land
Everything has been great so far, everyone(local guys) just received a $1.00 an hour raise, works out to about $70.a week for me,Not sure what the OTR/Regional guy got for a raise.
Vacation pay(I gave wrong info earlier) after 1 year you get 14 days paid at( for new guys) $20. x 8hrs.
The 401k match works out to about $25. a week or $1200. a year based on $60,000 a year, $65,000 is closer to what you can make here starting out So far 12-1400 a week for me.
And sleeping in your own bed with the wife and kissing the kids good night is priceless

 

How's things going Slim Shady ?

 

Things are going great here, Couple of new things to ad.
We get monthly bonuses (just for doing our job) for me/local guys its $170.00 and the road/regional guys get $400.00
It would really hard not to earn this bonus.
There is no wait on the 401k match, It starts when your join and thats been another $28-30 a week if you take the max %, Which I do. I am loving this place.
Heniff has bought out another tanker outfit DBT out of Wi.

Can't find anything to complain about yet

 

What's the hiring radius?

 

Not sure, I'm pretty sure our furthest east term is Parker Pa.
I'll ask when I'm back later today.
right now I'm unloading caustic out in this ridiculous cold weather, Temps here just warmed up to 0

 

Well your not alone. My father drives for H.O. Bouchard and hauls a lot of caustic to the mills in Maine. It's been very cold and snowy up here, so he's have a lot of long days lately because it been taking so long to get the caustic to flow out of the trailer.

 

Yep, at BASF in Kankakee, Il.what is normally a 2 hr. Air off was 4 1/2 hr. Have to push this stuff about 30' up and another 300' to the tank
On the plus side the PPE. keeps you warm and keeps the wind off you.

 

Everything here is still going great, 5 months in and still loving this place.
I'm no longer the new guy they hired 2 more local drivers recently.
No complaints well maybe 1 the a/c isnt working on my truck but dont need it yet

1st. quarter of 2015 almost in the books, And pretty happy with my pay. 13 weeks(adding this week to my figures)
17,500 ytd for an average of 1,346 a 5 day week And thats with 3 really slow weeks the end of Feb onto early march
And my monthly bonuses added in.

 

A little bit on Heniff's begining's.
