Quality Carriers

My typical week is about 2,000 miles. I'm dedicated to one customer and this is my first tanker job, after 20 years pulling vans. I can't claim I understand the landscape with tanker companies. My first impression is tanker, like flatbed, is running fewer miles than dry van but at a higher CPM. Fewer miles for the same money is less stressful, IMO. Customers treat you better than most dry van customers. About half of my customers do everything loading or unloading. About half of the customers that require me to do everything require me to wear the chemical suit to do my job. That's no fun. I'm dreading the Summers wearing a "sauna suit."

 

Sounds great man I'm thinking about making the switch as well

 

How long was your training?

 

Not bad at all

 

I did 4 days in class and then 10 days with a trainer. If you don't have previous tanker expereience you will almost certainly do 10 days with a trainer after 4 days in class. I had no tanker experience but 20 something years in dry vans.

 

Yea I have dry bulk tanner experience but I do know how to transload liquids

 

You almost certainly will do minimal days with a trainer if you have bulk experience.
