    Hey Spring Chicken, how was orientation? and how is your job with IRT going? I am considering them at this point. I haven't pulled tanks before but I am really tired of dry van. Any info would be appreciated.

    I don't know about annual income, and I don't know what you mean by expected as trucking is one of the most unpredictable lines of work in the world. I do know that when I've had a good week I take home around a grand. I also know the stress that comes with being on paper logs is harder for me to deal with than it used to be. I was on e-logs at my old company and I got used to that. I'm considering switching. The truck I have is equipped for it. I don't know. We'll see.

    Bynum has a add on Craigslist in Milwaukee Wi. for Kenosha Wi. says pay up to .40 per mile new 2015 trucks and need no experience. not sure what's up with no experience, but go to the add if you want and read the whole add.

    I have a year and a half of tanker experience and they still only offered me 34 cents....if you must work for a Florida food grade tank company I would go to Oakley. They also require 1 year OTR, but I've been told if you have 5 years you'll start at 48.
