I definitly have to agree with what Lve2drv has to say... after almost 5 years on the road I decided it was time to try something else and fuel hauling was what looked good to me. For me it was not as much money as otr but its pretty #### close, it was a small price to pay to go home everynight as opposed to being an unpaid security gaurd for someones truck and trailer, now I can enjoy those things that I bought while otr and not have to wave goodbye to them when I left for 4-5 weeks, but most importantly I now get the chance to go to those soccer games and what ever else my 2 little ones decide to do. But I will tell you that hauling fuel isnt for just anybody, you got to have patience, just because you are the biggest thing in the gas station and without you that station may have to shut down if you are not on time, theres always some Joe Schmo putting $10 worth of gas in his Hummer H2 and no matter what he will get in your way

ive been hauling fuel now for the last 3.5 yrs and i must say at this point i thought i would be closer to 70k per yr vs closer to 50k. hauling gas in the atlanta market has really changed since 09. most companies now use people net sys to watch your speed and it really takes a toll on your income. ive been driving for 12 yrs but i think it time now to do it my way or leave trucking all together. everyone pays the same i metro atl except fla rock and ptc, just horrible. only difference is days off and benefits.

my last tanker job was as follows: small for hire fuel hauler (we transported for exxonmobil, shell, bp, marathon, etc.) located in ft.lauderdale, fl. non-union, same as almost every fuel hauler in this area
currently. the cheapest paying trip was $30 (1.5-2.5) hours of work. majority of trips paid $40-$45 (2.5-3.5) hours of work. no pay for pre-trip, no pay for post-trip, no pay for fueling. any delay time we had to give a minimum of one hour (delay at rack) etc. basically, your paycheck consisted of only what the trips paid. any other lost time due to traffic delay, waiting on your truck at beginning of shift, or breakdown. you either didnt get paid for it or only partially. obviously didnt matter if you worked 80 hours a week, no overtime pay or no night time or weekend pay. so a 13-14 hour shift, you might do four $45 loads. gives $180 for the day. making about $13 per hour. i forgot they also deducted a small amount per week for uniform allowance.

hi guys does anyone knows who hired newbies to drive tanker trailer? thank s

i dont think anyone hires newbies in the atlanta area but florida rock will train you if you are close to 6 months i think. their pay isnt the best but you will gain experience.

i went from making $240-$330 any given night in 08-09 to now hoping to make $215-245. we also now have to follow the speed limit but thats almost every fuel hauling outfit in atlanta. for this kind of pay i can pull a box and be off on weekends

Dear hubby is otr with Covenant right now but he is a newbie (less than 4 months).

I see that most companies require 2 years verfiable otr but are the any out there who do not? He is interested in hauling fuel. We had a neighbor who used to haul fuel. Unfortunately, he was always bone weary teary and had a penchant for driving even when he was worn out. It cost him his life and the life of his son when he fell asleep behind the wheel of his car with his kids onboard.
