prime tanker

Last I heard there was a long waiting list on the tank and flatbed side for trainer's. I know alot of guy's said hell with it because of the length of time they would have to spend pulling refer waiting on a trainer to open up for flatbed or tank and at one point while I was there I was told it was up to 6 months on the waiting list. Don't know how it is now. I know tank yankers do alot of the Chicago area from what I've seen. Also if it hasn't changed then you have no choice but to lease if you want a tank or flatbed position so with that said, you'll never make it in a lease going home once a week. Only company driver positions are offered in refer only.

 

They pull mainly food grade tank - not chemicals

That's bout all I know on them ...

 

Not true. We have company tankers and company flatbedders.

 

What he said. We've had company drivers in all 3 divisions since I've been at Prime. My former trainee that is in tanker is a company driver.

 

They pull food grade non-baffled tanks. But you will need a hazmat endorsment as they haul hazmat in some of them. And everybody must be able to get a Twic card too.

 

Ahh ok. I was told they didn't have company on flatbed and tank side. Learn somethin' new everyday.

 

AFAIK we no longer haul hazmat in the tanks. Not to say that we won't again, but it was one account that we no longer have hauling liquor in them.

 

What rates they getting on the tank side

Just curious

 

70% for lease drivers, .40 for company drivers to start
