Is truck driving about $10 per hour?

51 hours in 3-4 days, $1500. That is up around $30/hour.

 

I'm with Superior Carriers, but I suspect most tanker companies are similar. Get your year in and give them a call.

 

I don't know how many applicants per job opening they get.

I live close enough to a terminal so going home on my break is not a problem. The fact that they don't keep us out for weeks on end is a good thing. But, if you were counting on being on the road enough to not need a home, maybe not so much.

 

I GET to go home generally every other weekend. As I said before 3 weeks is the longest I've ever stayed out and that's only happened once. In early '09 when freight was slow I was home 3 or 4 days a week for the first couple of months, but then it picked up and hasn't slacked up since.

Typically I'll come in Friday afternoon and head out Sunday night or Monday morning. I almost always get a 34 in.

 

34 hours off duty to reset the 70 hour clock.

 

Next question he will ask: What is a 70 hour clock?

 

I'm waiting for that one, lol.
