Eagle Transport (Gas Haulers)

I only talked to Marlow once last night to get a supplier list he seemed all right that was about 2130 HRS. I first talked to Doug all I needed was the supplier list and he had to go through the whole regamarow of looking up my dispatch through my driver number. Then when he saw it was unbranded he was what does that mean. I had to explain to him that he would have to give me the suppliers off the list, he didn't know where the list was, so I had to explain tell him to either look in the fax machine or ask one of the other guys. By the time he found the list I lost service. When I got cell phone service back Marlow answered and was off the phone in 1 minute.

I am starting to get spoiled made well over $200 and felt disappointed. Hopefully I will run the Golden Rectangle. Just want to get into a good routine of running it.

 

Oil I would reommend both companys, another coompany I would recoomend is Florida Rock and Tank Lines. I prefer Eagle over the other 2 for the following reasons
1. Night time Dispatch I have a good working relationship with them guys, talking to the KAG drivers they are talking to a new guy every time they pick up the phone.

2. On bord computer I have most of the BOL info inouted before I get to the rack

3. Garunteed shft differential pay.

All 3 of theese companys pays by the load, I want to say we are hiring in Florida. Florida Rock and Tank Lines gives bonuses not sure they are hiring
or not.

Last year I made over $53,000 but part of the time I was on a 6 day schedule it just got to be to much. I want to say my avearage was about $950 a week. I had some $1100 weeks and my worst week was $750 because of the rack shutting down for Christmas and Christmas Eve.

I see you having plenty of experiance for all thrre of theese Companys

 

I can understand not wanting to drive in the snow, but you might want to think about N. Augusta SC if you want to haul Gas they get snow there
but it might be three times a year if that and it only stays around until the sun comes up.

If you have your hear set on Florida I know Eagle only requires 2 years tractor trailer experiance and they picked up a major contract in Florida. Also Florida Rock and tank lines is a good outfit. Give both of theese Companys a call.

I don't have the numbers but you could google all theese outfits and call the terminal you want to go to.

 

The day cabs are or were straight 6s but they are going to mostly automatics. The sleeper cabs are or were 8 speeds splits but the are going also to automatics yuck. At Eagle we have all Automatics. Don't care for them myself. I drive to live not live to drive so I can live with them.

 

Wow one of those nights, the only good thing I can say is tonights got to be better. I get to the yard and my #5 probe light is on. I wipe it down then reset the system by pulling the pig tail, and plugging it back in. I say what the heck maybe by the time I get to the reack it will go off. No dice, I double time back to the yard and it finaly goes off back to the rack no more problems with that load, or my next load on my thrid load I get to the rack and they decide to switch tanks no loading until that is complete, they give the go ahead to load but after they switched tanks they forget to open the valves and the whole rack goes into alarm, have to wait for them to open the valve and reset the system. on this load I was caring 500 gallons of Diesel in my #2 compartment, it must have slushed around alot and hit the probe so when I went to load my fourth one I get to the rack and my #2 probe light is out I know I didn't leave no product on the trailer, I climb on top wipe it down and finaly it is greener than Savannah on ST Pat's. I load that compartment and get it fully loaded and the same compartment probes out and I still have other compartments to load. I get it squared away finally no more problems with that load. My #5 load I get to the customer and there is car parked there with 2 young guys in it and I am in a blind spot, also the store is closed. So I say self what can 2 guys be doing at a store when it is closed. If they are doing nothing they need to do it somewhere else. After looking at my options I call the police. I stay in a well lit area and where there are lots of cars passing by and wait for there arival. They show up but the 2 guys are gone, come to find out they ran out of gas, found out the store was closed, left the car there and came back with gas. I let the police figure out I just wanted to stay safe. My #6 and last load I did with no problems.

I still made my money over $250 for 11 hours of work. Atleast tonight has to be better.
