    What do you want to know? I worked for FRTL as a trainer and pump certified driver at the Nashville terminal for a year and a half. FRTL is a starter company for local tanker yankers and has good training but it is not a long term company to work for in my opinion and the turn over is high. What do you want to know about them?
     
    BossOutlaw88 Thanks this.

    Boss:

    I left the company because there was no long term potential with them. FRTL is a good training company for fuel hauling in the LTL ( Local Trucking Logisitics) and it will always be a good training company. So if you need training yanking tanks in the LTL its a good choice to go with for your first year because its not OTR driving and your not hauling chicken nuggets or auto parts.

    I worked my way to the top with them as a driver, driver trainer and a certified pump driver. FRTL pays on percentage pay so when your dispatched out to some mom or pop store that hast problems with there tanks, mislabled tanks, broken vapor recoveries and ect... the driver pays the price with lost time not the company. If you go with FRTL be ready to run over your 11 and 14 and fight to get your money on each pay check because they will short you.

    If your looking for good tanker companies in the LTL in my opinion go with Loves, Pilot and just pull from the rack to a truck stop and make a good living as a tanker driver. Hope this helps.

    I've seen these trucks down here in PCB, I hear they have a terminal or yard down here. Do their drivers just run out and back from one terminal or are they sent out overnight? How many hours a week do you work on avg. with them? What's the mean weekly pay for those hours? What benefits and how much?

    Heck, I'll call them.

    Yeah, all I'm looking for is a local training company. I'm thinking about getting off the road at my two year mark. I'm still debating if I should just move and stay with Schneider or just leave for this company.

    Draped up and drifted out. Know what I'm talking about? Three in the morning, just stashed up my stash spot.
