LOL That's awesome. I would say 400. LOL

 

Been trying to find out about Love's /Gemini and read through the whole thread and some other ones too. I am more than impressed with them.

I guess I could call myself a newbie. I have had my CDL since 92 but haven't driven since 2006. I maintained my CDL with all the endorsments, tanker, doubles/triples but didnt do the hazmat and medical card when I renewed it last year . I can go down and do the fingerprints and test. I moved into a supervisory role making good money, then downsized. I want to get back into driving but it has been hard because I want to find a company that I want to stay with and not move around. I have been looking to relocate to West Texas for a long time. I put in apps online with a lot of companies and got a few rejection emails.

I figured I am considered a new driver(maybe?) since I haven't had any commercial driving in years and that was mostly van. Is it hard to even get a job when you have a CDL but no recent experience? I want to put in an app with Gemini but actually am afraid of the dreaded rejection, which to me means don't re-apply.

 

Can anyone who works here give me some insight thru here or pm. Pay, work schedule, work environment ( laid back or bunch of stiffs). Reason I ask cause I currently run night linehaul LTL. It's a very laid back company for the most part, nights, and I'm on pace for 65k have it alright with my seniority 1yr in. I've been pretty intrigued with runnin fuel is why I applied acouple months ago. I know fuel is home daily vs layover 2-3 times a week. I love my current job and it has alot of upside can make 80k by my 3rd year but wait time and a very late night shift(get off 5am-9am) kinda gets old. If at Loves I can make 65-70k and have a night shift that ends before the sun goes down I would be happy. Also I haven't hauled fuel ever. I got a call but was asleep(during the day for work) and was wondering before I give them a call back and setup a interview. Also people that apply, I applied over a month ago or so. Any insight will be helpful. Thx.

 

Here in SLC they are always advertising for 50k which is pretty darn cheap for hauling fuel, but then maybe that's why they are always hiring. Well at least here. I don't know what other areas make. But most of the guys I know that haul fuel all make between 60k-75k but the wages for trucking in SLC are horrible!
