Dillon-Tampa & Mulberry Fl

Let me know if you are considering working for Dillon at either the Tampa or Mulberry terminal. I will be happy to share my experiences with this company and will answer your any questions.

 

I can't speak about the entire company, but can share my experiences with regards to the Tampa and Mulberry terminals and it has not been a positive experience. As an example: When I was hired, the annual pay advertised was $ 50k-70k. Dillon has since removed this from their advertisement/recruiting information due to so many drivers getting angry because of the income expectation, when in realty for the majority the income was in the mid 30k to the low 40k range. There are a number of areas that I site, but I don't want to just trash Dillon. I want to help anyone interested in working for Dillon in my area to go in with realistic expectations. If you have specifics questions about Dillon, I will answer them according to my experiences in these two terminals.

 

Yes, I still work for them, but looking at other companies and talking with drivers of other companies so that I can find a better fit for me.

 

Yes, I drive local for Dillon through the Tampa and Mulberry terminals

 

They don't have any OTR in my terminals. I did question them about the earnings. It was explained to me in a formula that required you to be at the top of the pay scale for the top paying local job/product (it takes a year to get to the top pay in Dillon and you may still be in a lower paying product, being paid by the load) getting the maximum loads delivered 6 days a week for a year and you had to factor in safety bonuses that could be taken away. All in all, it is impossible to actually perform the way that you would need to in order to achieve the income that was stated. A prime example would be someone delivering Molten Sulfur: This is where the new driver starts and may stay with this product for the first year (it is the lowest paying product and has the most trouble with load consistentcy for the new driver on nights). Using the formula stated above would only put you in the mid to upper 30k range. The mosaic plants shut down, the loading sites run out of loads, vehicle breakdowns etc prevent a perfect year in any product that the driver delivers for Dillon.
