    9 years chemical tankers, 1 year flatbed, 6 months van. I need to stay local, home almost every night, home on the weekends. I am a tanker driver, I have hauled fuel, propane, and various chemicals. I have a few local companies that I am looking at right now with scheduled road tests, but until you get the welcome aboard its not something that you can count on so any direction that you could offer would be appreciated.

    I find it hard to imagine only making 30K per year in this day and age in the trucking business. I would assume you are talking gross. You could do better than that with $3000 dollars worth of lawn equipment cutting just 10 yards a week.

    I think that some new truckers that want to move on from being OTR may stay with the company a little longer just to get enough experience to find a better local job. Dillon has a 50% turn over ratio within the first 90 days. Imagine that, lie to people and they quit!

    If this is an actual concern of yours, then you should assume they do both and stay off the road until you don't have to ask such a question.

    Have u worked for or currently working for dillon?? I appreciate the quick response but not the answer i was looking for. This thread was opened for ANY questions involving dillon and thats a legitimate question that deserves a legitimate answer. Another question i forgot to ask is..how does dillon pay? ive been hearing by load? is that accurate?

    By all means, my good man, enlighten me. What's a legitimate reason to ask this question beyond "I have something in my hair that would cause me to fail a follicle test?"

    Nope, I hope not. While this forum is for question and answers a lot of people (myself included) are a bit tired of the question being "How do I beat a drug test?". The answer is get sober! If you don't like that answer, that's your problem. It's the only correct answer though.
