    I was at Miller Transporters for just over 2 yrs, out of Lansing, IL. The term mngr and disp are incompetent morons. I lost money being there. There have been 9 of us that quit in 1 yrs time. I still talk with a few of the guys still there.

    That being said, the southern terminals seemed to do better. And yes, I'm being fair, but miller's business plan uses a strange one way calculator. It did not work for me, but some guys (company drivers) made out ok

    KAG/TSC are all having trouble. I'm an o/o for TSC in MI and things are not well. A lot of the guys are talking about DANA. Me I'm getting out of tanks when I leave

    You may want to look into one of the inustrial gases contractors. Like Genox, Southern Pines, LGT transport, etc. Cryogenics is just about the easiest tanker jobs you could do heh.
     
    Heavy Handed Thanks this.

    I'm in KY right now, hauling gas and diesel to different stations in the Louisville, Etown area. Falling on my face. Tankers for some reason are slow (more than just the seasonal slow).

    Hey tanker yankers,
    I'm looking at getting into the industrial gas gig here in northeast Florida.
    Eagle is building a plant here in Jacksonville (eaglelng.com/projects/jacksonville-fl )
    I'd like to go ahead and get started, get experience, don't mind regional work.
    ...my question:
    Anybody recommend a decent company??
    (JBK - Genox - Praxair - Airgas - Ect.)

    Company or lease purchase (been there before)
    Thanks for any info!
