    Hi, guys. I'm kinda new here. I'm not sure if this topic has been covered here yet. Anyways, do any of you know of liquid bulk tanker carriers that do not have company drivers? Just owner operators? I'm weighing in my options for my next move. Finding good info on Google has been difficult. Thanks.

    Also, if there's any owner operators pulling for Dana, Heniff, or Superior, let me know what you think. Thanks.

    Where do you live? In tanking, having company trucks can actually work in your favor, if it's the right company.

    I'm a company driver, but Heniff and dana have O/O's. And i suspect Superior does as well

    Absolutely right, local company driver and I preload load tanks for the road guys alot imo it saves the road guy a whole lot of time, just yesterday i spent a total of 7 hrs preloading for Texas.
    It was 5 hrs at Nalco and the travel time to and from.
    Road guy come in yard drop, hook and off they go.
    And that happens quite a bit
     
    ChicagoJohn Thanks this.

    If you run the road, that can be a huge time saver. A lot of companies only charge a nominal fee to have a local company guy do the dirty work. I think Heniff is something like $100-$150. LTC is only like $50.

    Not exactly sure with Heniff
    But its around $75-100.
    And figure they paid me on the clock for that Nalco load basically 8 hrs. If you figure pre, post ,loading and driving.
    Today I had 5 hrs doing a California pre load
    Definitely a time saver for the road guys
     
    Orange713 and ChicagoJohn Thank this.
