can mods remove dog pic,wrong thread by accident.

 

Do you have to be registered to the clearing house when you apply at Pilot?

 

Congratulations on the new gig! Let us know how it goes once you get your feet wet.

 

Just completed training,be on my own mon.not to complicated,totally diff than fuel hauling.I do gravity and pump unloads.Plenty of hours.

 

I see the Mods couldn't help with computer training, but good luck. That photo is a nice pup.

We'll give it a couple months hauling rack petroleum, and see if you can figure out that computer.

Be careful, those little details can really screw up a petroleum hauling job.

 

I haul DEF.

 

Thought about starting a new thread (goodness knows I’ve created enough of them already , but I just applied for a position for fuel transport driver at a Pilot Flying J near me. My home address is 25.8 miles & 31 minutes away from their terminal according to Google maps. Not too long of a daily commute (it’d be shorter than my current commute) but I hope the ones in charge of hiring think that.

Any tips in case I get called for an interview? Will they ask questions to see if I know anything about Class 3 hazmat materials (stuff I studied for to get the endorsement)? Is it ok if I dress casually (perhaps a shirt w/ a collar tucked into jeans w/ a belt)? They asked about employment gaps longer than 1 month which I had two. Also I started at my current company in May 2020, then left to drive for a relative in August 2020 (3 months later), drove for him for 4 months and then went back to my current employer at the start of 2021, so that’s a bit of job-hopping. Otherwise no job-hopping. Hopefully this doesn’t look too bad and causes me to not get hired.

The starting pay is $23.50 during the training period and then $25.50. Those rates are low, but it’s hard to find local jobs that pay anywhere near that that are non/hazmat in my area, plus the CoL is lower than average so that’s helps. Also naturally it will be nightshift.

 

I knew I had my fuel job when my boss-to-be asked me if I had a TWIC card, & I showed it to him.

Later....I never used it.

I don’t have a TWIC card (it asked me that on the application) but I can get one if necessary.
