I should hit $70k this year easily, working 5 12hr shifts, but I'm working a 6th day every other week, hoping to be near $80k. Planning some home improvements this summer,

The bigger the name on the door the less you have to do. Just about all of the majors have gotten out of the fuel hauling bussess. If the common carrier wants to look that bad, compies, when hire them to do the work. I went out on LTD back in 2000 and stayed with them until 2017. In 2018 I will finally retire and all that time that my records without showing. I will match any company with beneafit, pay, vaction, sick pay, and days off.

This is a great forum with plenty of hands willing to give advice! -
I am really enjoying hauling fuel to gas stations. I can say that this is the only driving job, over 20 years, that I actually like doing. I used to enjoy OTR because I learned a lot listening to audio books and podcasts. But I still didn't really like it because of being gone all the time.
But, now, I can say that I do not really like fuel hauling when I'm doing 6 days a week, 12 hours a day. Maybe it's because I'm older. But I'm beginning to see some push back from other drivers about constantly being asked or forced to run 6 days a week. Sure the money is good. But at some point you have to think about longevity. 60 hours a week is enough for me. This is not OTR. But I'm sure the young people willing to work the 70 hours will come and push me out. And if they won't do it, foreigners will. And you would think 60 hours with the labor involved is a pretty solid week.
When I talk to other drivers about different jobs within the industry, the question that comes up a lot is, "do they get two days off?" And there are some places with rotating schedules with 2 on 3 off, or 6 on 2 off. But I'm talking specifically to the local fuel hauling jobs, fueling local gas stations. I fill 5-7 stations per shift. There are plenty of jobs hauling diesel out to the oil fields but I'm not interested in that right now. The solution is probably to become an owner operator but I have avoided that for various reasons. So it goes.
