prime tanker division

No one that I know of on here is in the tanker division. Pay I believe is 41cpm, but dont quote me on that one. Its mainly a regional thing. They do have a run that goes to Cali. Also go to Ga some, but mostly NE. Around 1800ish miles a week, thats what Ive heard anyway.

 

to add to what ord said tankers sit more but that comes with the job its mostly reg some SE NE back across iowa if im not mistaken a lot of runs in chicago and i think theres a run out west i have the # for the guy over tanker if you want it

 

Saw a couple of tankers heading east when I was coming west on I-80 in WY, surprised me, did not think they got this far west

 

Tanker doesnt have a SE regional. Theyre mainly NE, with a few runs west/south

 

They don't have a southeast regional divison, but I've seen plenty of them down that way. A couple of years ago I saw 20-or-so tankers parked at the QualaWash (?) in Charlotte NC. We have a big operation starting up in Decatur IL to service ConAgra out there.

I wouldn't pay too much attention to the flatbed guys... they're too busy admiring their latest securement job to notice where the Prime tanker yankers are! LOL!

 

O we notice the tanker yankers. Theyre like an endagered species lol When ya see one, you take note lol I mainly run out west though, so I rarely see one. My securement job is pretty good though... lol

 

Endangered yes whenever im n tanker country im always looking for one saw 2on my last journey....woo!

And yes i do admire my securement

 

Over 75% of primes tanker runs are jersey to the surrounding areas. Usually jersey to Pennsylvania. They usually won't hire people into tanker who aren't on north east. As you won't have hometime opportunities. They have dedicated runs all over though. Though you usually have to work awhile to be considered.

Pay starts at 41/mile. They don't get a lot of miles though. Most I talked to said they made more money reefer side.

Another thing to consider. You cannot use weather and what not to shut down. If the roads are open, you are running. They don't have enough drivers to repower and theyre contract is pretty strict.

To be honest. If you're interested in tanker, I wouldn't come to prime. Schneider might be a better choice there.
