What do fuel subhaulers make?

I don't know of any O/Os that haul fuel in the Bay Area. There might be some but I don't recall ever seeing any.
During the busy season there might be a few loads available but all you'd get is the garbage that the carrier either doesn't want or worries about getting paid for.
In the valley there's always a big push hauling liquid fertilizer in the Spring but it doesn't last very long. Talk to Button in Vacaville or Mike Lowrie about tanker work for agriculture.
Check on potential insurance costs. Insuring a tanker is expensive.
If you have a potable water trailer and can jump through all the government hoops to qualify and get signed on you could work the wildfire season hauling water to the base camps. That kind of work depends totally on what kind of fire season you have. This season was very poor and nobody made much money. The problem with fire work is that unless you have really good contacts in the construction business or food grade hauling your trailer will sit idle during the off season.
If it was me I'd be looking for something other than tankers.

 

Just for the record, any lapse in employment could be a problem. You may have to take a refresher course, I know, you backed up more miles, but it's where we are today. Here in Colorado, I keep tabs on trucking jobs, you know, just for gits and shiggles, and most company jobs seem to hover around the $30/hr. range. A gas tanker outfit in Pueblo, $60gs to start, can't find anyone. A local outside company starting at $28/hr. on a 8hr. mail run, or Nestle Waters out of Buena Vista, looking for a tanker driver, same 1 load to Denver, $30/hr. to start, no takers. I've gotten in trouble with my views on any O/O setup, I feel the time has passed for that, and a slew of great company jobs, heck, Safeway Foods going through some changes, I actually saw an England truck( non-union) pulling a Safeway wagon( union), so you get your foot in there, be sweet. And BTW, how many years? Things may not be what you are used to. Good luck,,company driver by the hour, the way to go today.

 

So business plan needs to include starting fires, in slow seasons?

 

Start up a trucking business....

• in "Commiefornia"?
• in the current business climate/conditions (at the time of this writing)?
• in something as fiercely competitive as fuel delivery (incredibly skimpy margins)?
