Kenan Advantage

I don't know. I keep pretty clean. You just have to be careful and work smarter. I'm on my 3rd pair of boots in 1.5yr. First pair just weren't comfortable, 2nd pair I walked the soles off, 3rd (Cat) are going strong for about 3mo now.

But yeah draining down 40-60ft of hose is a pain.

 

I had a an old friend of mine INSIST that he could deliver gas in a white tuxedo everyday an come home clean. Lol.
He's a neat freak an cleanliness is his middle name. It was very rare to see him dirty but even the best of us get out that truck with a few grease an oil spots here or there. I used to let the hoses HANDLE me but over time I started HANDLING them so the job became much easier an a lot less dirty.

 

I almost bought my own truck to haul for Klemm in Milwaukee after the company ( solar) lost their main contract to them, leaving me out of a job. But changed my mind very quickly, after they tried hiding what the loads are paying. My buddy is a company driver there, and let's just say you can make the same money driving a non- hazmat straight truck . All the OOs I ever talked to at the racks, ALL say the same. Hauling gas USED to pay good, it's not worth it anymore, but they never leave, which was always weird to me. Nobody will truly tell you what they make. Not sure how one can go deliver gas from loading to unloading in a white tuxedo and stay clean lol, my wife used to make me get undressed in the garage when I got home. And sometimes I'd bring a change of clothes on days when I was doing red dye diesel pump offs at the train yard, you get filthy as ####, guaranteed. If you get to a station and you have to run a hose under the trailer, it sucks and ull sweat your ### off even if it's -10 outside, because it's heavy as a #######. The job is fun and challenging, stores are happy to see you, cars try to avoid you, wish companies paid hourly and better, I'd still do it now. Tanker trailers ride nice in any weather, so much smoother than a box, and sloshing isn't bad because of the multiple compartments . Just my opinion

 

They don't wanna leave because it's comfortable. They're home everyday.
Most of the trucks are paid for.
The way the industry is shifting these days I'm pretty sure everyone will be back in a company truck before its all said an done.
Cost of living is going thru the roof so consequently they are having to pay these company guys more money but us self employed guys are getting hit with even more taxes.

 

İ'm currently in NY area. İ have 11 years gas tanker EXP no ticket no point clean driver license all endorsment hamat twic too. i'm thing about to move south florida. Do you guys eneybody know wich company pay by hours pay by loads wich is the best. Thanks for help.

There are some more companies in both categories but my brain just farted. Basically if you stay away from any payed by the load companies that do sunshine you should be ok. And from word of mouth db isnt a great company either. But what 1 eatz does make another ####
