Well your supposed to be on duty when loading/unloading a tanker. I feel like it's normal for them to charge you to replace a key. Alerts only go off if your causing them to go off. Only one that sometimes goes off on me is lane departure. Because loves to read a lane that doesn't exist
Any current info on Oakley Transport out of Lake Wales?

So that entire time your loading/unloading is hourly paid but taking from your 70 or potential drive time... can you clock on duty for let's say 1 hour only even if it takes 2 or logs is on you about clocking everything exact? Obviously you're making more driving vs on duty hourly? Sounds like running recaps isn't a driving option with tanker if you want to maximize earnings?

There we go that's an actual example .

What'd Oakleys length of haul like? They do any long haul or is it all East of I-35

Well they hired someone out of Cali. So I assume they might do stuff that way. My trainer when I was originally going tanker. Said when he was hired they had him bring juice to Cali then go back empty. That must of been expensive ### juiceasphaltreptile311 Thanks this.

Hourly pay lol - it’s zero pay.
The idea, at least for me, was to log a few minutes in/out, and off duty the time between. Save the hit on the 70. But, when the off duty time (when you’re obviously working) doesn’t count toward your daily rate time it’s a big wtf. The predicament. Log it on duty and wipe out your 70, or take one for the team?
fwiw, I’ve run recaps for months at other tanker companies.Loudstacks Thanks this. -
I had a job like that once that was hourly. I logged every minute to the penny. I would blow through 70 hours in 4 days . Id sit through the reset and then do it again. But I got paid so I was like "oh well"

You’re funny and clearly drinking the Koolaid. Or have Stockholm Syndrome.
Alerts go off when someone crosses 3 lanes and slams their brakes to make an exit. Alerts sound as the system reads a 35mph exit ramp speed limit. Alerts go off when a driver cuts in front of you after taking 2-miles to pass you.
$400 for a key? I’ve never lost one, but that’s ridiculous. It’s not an electronic fob.Last edited: Apr 12, 2024

I got paid hourly at a previous tanker company. During orientation the 1st thing said about pay, “your hours worked don’t need to match your logs.” 100 hour pay weeks weren’t uncommon.Gearjammin' Penguin and asphaltreptile311 Thank this.
