Kenan or Energy Dispatch?

Hello everyone, I'm looking for your opinion on the best local fuel hauling company in Atlanta, Ga. I just received my Haz-mat/Tanker endorsement and I'm ready to get off this road. Florida Rock and Tank is hiring for sure, and I already talked to a recruiter. I thought I met ask the veterans what you think.

 

Does anyyone have more info on Energy Dispatch? I am looking to work there but Id like too see if anyone has more info on them?

 

I don't know about Atlanta but here in Houston tanker jobs usually ask for minimum 1 year experience unless they train you and make you pay for it by offering you a low paying job for the next year like Schneider does.

 

I'd also like some info on energy dispatch does anyone have any?

Not sure of what they haul but i seen a flamable placard on the tanker. So I guess fuel which is for most companies 24/7 365. Good luck

 

Ausdaria, the number of loads depends on how fast you can get. I think 8 is the most I've heard of. Here in dallas, it's harder to get more than 5 or 6 on the day shift, because of the traffic. Also, some of our deliveries are more than 30 miles from the Terminal we pick the fuel up from. We are self-dispatched from a gps computer system. We call in, or use the onboard keyboard to plan and deliver loads. Sometimes the computer sends us to a terminal that is more than 45 minutes away to pick up, when there is a terminal only minutes away. It depends on the price of the fuel and allocations that they are getting from each of the 7 or 8 terminals that we go to. Since Racetrac is the discount fuel store, we have to find the cheapest price around.To get my 5 loads I usually drive between 220-300 miles a night. This is because Dallas/Ft. Worth is so spread out. Orlando is the next biggest group and they don't have to drive near as far for each delivery. I don't know anything about the rock hauling business, my brother has done that. The one thing that I forgot to mention, that turns off many of the drivers, is that we have Greenroad systems installed in all of our trucks. This system monitors our driving habits and gives us a green light if we are driving safely and smoothly, and a yellow or red light, depending on how rough you are. Any heavy braking, excessive acceleration, or turning too sharply, accelerating into a turn will give you a yellow light. The averages of each week are posted, and we are required to stay under 15 events per week. Some of the drivers are struggling with this, and some of the trucks handle worse than others, so getting a yellow light is easier. I have learned to deal with it, and i have become a smoother driver, but it still is an irritation to have in the truck. My medical deduction was 24 the first 3 months for my wife and two kids. This was for minor medical, which covers you until you've been there 90 days, then you have the choice of two PPO's or an HMO type plan. You can also add long term and short term#disability and life insurance.#The insurance#is through Aetna. I opted for the HMO, because of lower#deductibles#and more coverage, no lifetime maximum. My wife has had extensive problems with her health, and we lost our last child just after birth. The condition could have been fixed in utero with an experimental procedure, but my old blue cross ins. would not cover it, Aetna would have. I pay out around 134 a week for it, but it is worth it to me, most of the guys pay out around 70 dollars aweek for their families. Hope I helped!

 

What I don't like about the company is probably what is wrong with every company. It seems like new rules pop up all of the time. Of course, this could be because some of the guys abuse the good will of the managers, and team leaders and do stupid stuff that needs a rule to be posted. Other than that, they are pretty fair, and are always willing to let you work as much as you want. The 90,000 number was one of our day shift drivers. He is not the norm. I don't know how he did it, but he did gross 93,000 dollars last year. Just goes to show you!#Our loads are one full tanker truck, a full load is 8800 gallons, and they will allow us to haul up to 9000 for a few more bucks. A short load is 8000, but they will pay you the full load pay, if you can justify why you had to short the store. I usually get 5 loads a day on the#night shift, around 220-270 dollars depending on the store, but many here do 6 or 7 , bringing in over 300 dollars a night. We work 4 days on, 2 days off. We get a weekend roll around every few weeks. They are always hiring, as far as I can tell, because there are so many stores opening all of the time. 10 new ones are scheduled to open here in Dallas this year. Hope this helps

 

Yes, I work for Energy Dispatch, going on two months now. I like this company. It's not perfect, but what company is? It's still relatively small, but is owned by the Family that owns Racetrac#gas stations. We fuel exclusively Racetrac and Raceway stores. We get paid by the load, most paying around 45-60 dollars a load. Our shifts run, 10a.m. morning shift, and 10 p.m.#night shift. Each truck is assigned to a morning and evening driver. They supply uniform shirts, and have great medical benefits through Aetna.The average pay per year is 50-90 thousand. If you have anymore questions let me know. These guys seem easy to work for, kind of a family company atmosphere.#Good luck.
