    I am in the process of relocating to the King of Prussia area right off of 202. I have talked to several companies but want some updated driver input if possible? Cost of living is much higher than FL so I am looking to gross in the $1300+ to Net above $1000-1100 if possible. Is this being realistic? A big plus is if I can take the truck home as right now the wife has our only car for her to get to school but it's not a deal breaker.

    Venezia is offering home daily bulk tanker (cement/flyash). According to their recruiter they no longer hold out two weeks on pay and "you are paid for the miles you run". ( I asked if its HHG or practical and that was her answer)

    A&R pays by the load and is semi local, some 6 day work weeks are required. It would be nice to get two loads a day in buuuut this is the Northeast so lol I gotta be realistic.

    Highway Transport is regional and they seem great but downside they pay every 2 weeks (taxes hurt)

    Superior is .51 LD and .41 MT Regional. but it's 35 miles away across the Barry...and can't take the truck home.

    MC Tank lines, Quality Carriers, Bulkmatic I am all waiting to hear back from after submitting applications.

    Any driver input is greatly appreciated! Or if there is any other outfits I could check out. I have Hazmat/Tanker and am willing to get TWIC if needed. Only thing I am not open to doing is local gas hauling. Thanks!

    have you looked into linehaul with one of the many LTL outfits? i doubt any of those tank companies will come close to $1300+ a week.

    I have. Pyle has an overnight line haul ad out of West Chester. I filled out an app with Ward on the truck load side. I haven't ruled any freight companies out but I've worked docks and done ltl down here and was just wanting to learn something else.

    I would skip MC Tank. I had a buddy of mine who quit a year ago and went O/O, because he was out 2 weeks at a time and only made $800 a week. Venezia I heard you can make about $50-60k a year. Don't know much about Quality other than they use to be O/O's. Here's some other jobs around your area.....


    These are within 20-45 minutes of KOP....

    Con Way/XPO in Glenn Mills and Malvern
    R+L in Hatfield
    Estes in Norristown

    Volpe in Phoenixville

    HP Hood/Penn Maid in NE Philly (also delivering milk)
    Clemen Foods/Hatfield Meats in Hatfield
    ACME in Denver Pa (may be a tad over 45 minutes, can make 80-100k)
    Bimbo Bakeries in Brenigsville (also may be a tad over 45 minutes, can make over 80K)
    Nestle in Brenigsville
    Sysco in South Philly
    Pepsi in NE Philly
    Coca Cola in Downingtown and Philly/Juniata
    Mail Carriers of America/MCA in Philly

    These jobs are over 45 minute commute, up to an hour....

    Fed Ex Freight in Croydon (union shop)
    Ryder Logistics in Bensalem
    Bakerite in Bensalem
    Walmart in Pottsville (waaaaay over an hour commute, maybe two, but you are out a week at time)

    I work for Superior in Georgia. I've been to the Pedricktown terminal often. Great company! They pay you for everything. I easily gross over 1300 a week. My best week has been 2100 gross.
