Am I getting screwed??

Are you getting screwed? Yes.

Do you want to make more money? Get a local gig with your CDL.

Your present employer, Swift....has decided that too many of your deliveries weren't swift enough.....and so they gave you this new(er) gig....in hopes that you will make a somewhat swift exit.

We here on the Forum...hope that you will be swift enough....to compehend all this...and make a swift move on to yet another, better-paying carrier.

I shall now make a swift exit from this post....before the Moderators use a swiffer...on me....

That's company specific about your pup.
Food grade I would think no, gasoline probably not, but chemical and dry bulk(non food grade) would be possible.
Smooth bore tankers are interesting... Surge is rough. Once you learn how to use it to your advantage, it's easy.
I wouldn't trade pulling tankers for anything else in trucking.

Geez, even JB Hunt was paying something like $15/hr for local drivers 25 years ago. Yes, you are getting screwed. Find a better carrier to work for. Shouldn't be hard, EVERY carrier is better than Swifty-Swift....
