Dana/Liquid Transport: Not Happy.

They probably had some experience with that terminal in Grafton MA. Had to get a tank washed there once. What a miserable bunch of people.

 

I think you are just in a bad spot. I do food grade in a company truck and made way more this past year than I even did doing dry van and reefer.

 

Please don't take this personal, because it's not, but I suggest the following to you:

A job is like a trade, its this for that. You are selling to the employer what they need for a price. It's not a everyone who walks in the door gets the same money thing, it's not a union job where seniority or a prevailing wage exists. It's a negotiation. You got something they want, they got something you want. Based on the fact that you never asked, much less negotiated your pay, it sounds like gave you the minimum. In the future to increase your pay, you need to negotiate your pay. They are a business, labor is an expense, if there is no negotiation or someone doesn't even ask how much the position pays, they are gonna likely get the minimum. As a general rule one should approach a potential employer with that attitude. If they didn't need you, you wouldn't be interviewing with them. I hope this helps.

 

I just had mine done up there. My experience was different. They were friendly & cleaned the tank very quickly.

 

Yep and part of why I said goodbye to the fuel hauling business years ago ....crap pay for lots of risk .

 

How do they have any drivers at 42 cents per mile? That is bad low.

Thought it was 50 cents or 24% for company drivers.
