Bynum Transport

KAG will want 1 year of tractor-trailer experience -- NOT one year of tanker.

KAG is the "Swift" of tankers....& will train you for the tanker world.

KAG has several different tanker fleets.....lots & lots of different accounts there...& so, lots of opportunities to make money.

But....just like everywhere else....the better-paying loads there will require a hazmat.

It's probably (in truth) a better place to learn tanker....than even Schneider.

I know nothing about Bynum -- good, or bad.

Given your location in FL -- & the current CDL freight market -- your available tanker options may be limited to Indian River & Bynum.

Take whichever will in fact hire you -- & stay there...for at least a year.

Longer would be better.

Other carriers will later want some track record/evidence of stability.

That's one reason why their pay is modest -- no loading/unloading is required.

There...you're basically a liquid shuttle driver.

If you want to go tanker -- be serious about it -- join up with a fleet that teaches/trains/does loading & unloading.

It's a valuable skill set.

I will say the benefit to KAG would be that you could transfer to a different division at any time. You could go from food grade to fuel and still be with the same company.

 

Correct -- more opportunities than you can shake a stick at.

For some of them -- the pay can be quite good...to excellent.

But -- I remain unsure/unconvinced that KAG hires that far south into FL.

Kag has driver cams and depending on the terminal, junk equipment and junk management. They are the laughing stock of tanker .

 

They are pretty decent up here in the PNW. Have to start somewhere. They have nice equipment up here and pay up to $38 an hour.

 

That's the pnw for ya. They pay 21$ in Arkansas

 

Stay away form the big G
Look into flow trans also for tanker
