    Thanks!

    that wasnt a PM that was a vistor message lol.

    They look like a great company but i dont have enough Exp. It says "3 years Verifible Tractor/Trailer exp" I have 2.5 years Part Time local (most of which i cant verifiy) and 11 months OTR so far.

    I'll keep them in mind when i get 3 full time years driving.

    I've thought about going the local fuel delivery route myself. I have my tanker endorsement, just need hazmat, plus where I live we have several oil refineries. Just not sure which companies do the deliveries in my area.

    Edit: Saturday will mark my 4th year OTR.

    BP is not $32 an hour or it wasn't a year ago. They were at $27.50 and not due to sign a new contract for a couple of years. The drivers do work for BP but you could never tell unless you look close. You know BP bought out ARCO and BP will not change the ARCO name because it would just be financial suicide. Anyone can say what they want about ARCO but it's still the number 1 seller. BP screwed every driver and are still doing it. First order of business was to cut over time and change the number of holidays from 11 to 9. I sure didin't vote for them.

    We've only lost 2 drivers that I know of since the 50's. Have you ever loaded out of Vinevale?

    No such thing as a BP driver in Indy. They shut that op down a couple of years ago..............

    BP rack is still here on Tibbs. Rumor is that it is up for sale............

    Sucks to load there.........I'd rather take an ### kicking. LOL

    Alot of tanker companies pay by the load too, which means you have to hustle, they are paid percentage like if they charge the gas station 525.00 and you get 23 percent you would make 100 and some dollars on that load, local runs pay lot less, but at the end of the year they still make 50 to 55 thousand a year. 12 hour shifts and 4 to 5 day work week here in Winston Salem NC
