    I did this back in my food service days

    Otr fits me better ... More quality time I guess
    Depending on your company

    Tanking u can expect 1-2 days for every 6/7 on the truck

    I was an owner operator leased to United Petroleum Transports for 3 years.Was home nights and off weekends. Made good money until early 09 when everyone started cutting rates.

    I hauled oil for 2 years before UPT and am hauling oil again for Sunoco. Get 2 days off week and home every night. Gross 2200 every 2 weeks with good benefits. Plains pays more and both companies hire in many locations.
     
    wigglez and MoneyCat Thank this.

    Thats how much the guy at Highway Transport said the drivers average at my location, and you'd be gone maybe 2-3 nights a week. Not sure if I should believe it. Can't seem to find anybody that works for them on these forums. My mechanic also said those newer macks arent very good.

    I don't work for them but I do pull a tanker and word has it that Highway is one of the best company's out there to work for as far as yanking a tanker goes.
