Caledonia Haulers Caledonia, MN ??

only 72, that"s flyin for most company truck's! lol.

 

Hello Drivers, Especially in this line of questions for Calodonia, or Tanker Yankers, I am thinking of getting on with either Calondonia, or Indian River, OUT OF CALIFORNIA area, I would like some honest opinion on which company to go with, I would be at the TURLOCK yard, for IRT, and I do not know where Calodonia's terminal is.....I just want to get some pro's and cons's to either company....The money part looks similiar, so that is not an option for either, unless one runs and the other doesn't.... I would love to hear from TURLOCK IRT DRIVERS, or CA BASED CALODONIA DRIVERS, or EX DRIVERS......I appreciate Groundpounders input, and hopefully he still gets these posts, even though he doesn't work there anymore...........I have tanker(fuel) experience and six years CDL truck driving, Please offer your unbiased opinion, I know its hard to do, but I am sure there are many prospective drivers, who would love to hear the experienced Tanker Driver's thoughts on these two companies out WEST.....Thank You, and GOD Bless America!

 

Thanks for the update GP. Good luck in what ever you do in the future, and I hope that you start a new thread on the new company. Whoever it may be.

 

Thanks Groundpounder, was hoping you didn't abort this thread totally.....I realize that living east you would probably run that way, but do you think they would pull a driver from the west, and bring him east, the whole time out?? I would do it in a heartbeat IF, that is a big IF......I run back and forth to the west.....I once worked for Gainey, out of Atlanta, NEVER got off the eastcoast, even though I lived in Florida, I ran up north, and back..........HATED it, could not wait to move west.....So my concern with this is running east, and staying there........I won't do that, I will go back and forth, and even do SOME eastcoast to help out, but not on a weekly basis, I am in a position where I can stay out for good lengths of time, but I want ot be able to stay out west, east coast sucks, I'm sorry.... I got a return call from Dean, or some other guy, could not hear it too well, saying they are thinking of building a small fleet of trucks out of Sacramento Ca., to go fill out the application, and call him after........Groundpounder, I am thinking of calling him and seeing what kind of routes I would get, out of Sac. CA.I would love a dedicated!
Regardless, I have been there done that, I would love to get local/hourly stuff, but lately every job I go to has 25 drivers applying also!! I just want to get back to work, so I am going to" settle for"this, until things improve in this beautiful country of ours, before the #### hits the fan, with our wonderful Government screwing us all, with no lubricant!
I digress...........................thanks for the info G.

 

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you GP but this is a great no bs thread for anyone considering employment there or just looking for food grade tank info. So whats your next move GP?

 

GP, Been thinking the same thing myself, just not sure what or where to go if I do give it up. Construction is too slow, heavy equipment op's are sitting aroung looking for work down here, salesmen aren't selling... Guess Florida was a bad choice to relocate to at such an early age... 53 is too young to retire, at least for me.

I guess time will tell.... Good luck to you!
