Question ?
do you have to be in bulk right away ? I know your current job sucks and u need to make a move, but if you can or want to go dry van you should look into KOCH, although getting your feet wet in the TANK industry will greatly improve your chances of getting in here once you are cleared for hire at a terminal.
Look into food grade also
TRANSPORT SERVICES
OPIES
INDIAN RIVER
OAKLEY
none of them match the SUPERIOR CARRIERS way of treating drivers etc but, it will get you going on the tank end of things if thats your intrest. A&R runs allot of PNEUMATIC trailers dont remember seeing any tanks with A&R but I could be wrong
PNEUMATIC is a different world and they usually pay off percentage , jst from what I have heard I dont know that for sure..
Stay in there if Superior is your goal when a position opens up then I would go tank to get some experience under you on the TANKER YANKER side of things which will help you greatly.
I just dont know about that percentage stuff I think I would steer clear especially since freight rates are on the drop and GDP is down (GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT) and the percentage pay is strictly off freight rate and does not include all revenues to the truck such as
Surcharge , unload, pump pay, cleanout, etc.. which with the surcharge they can dicker the freight rate to be lower through a broker and push more to surcharge which nets you less and the company more (if that makes since. ) Just look into it deeply and dont make a rash decision but I know times are tough..
I hang out here allot more than the other place (board so you will find me here more..
If you need anything holler at me ...

Im use to the top heavy stuff. Nothing like 10 yards of concrete rolling around behind you to keep you on your toes.
What kills me is I had 5 years OTR and 3 of those were as an owner Op. Had a Mishap and was out of work for 6 mths due to my health. Came back and was almost dug out of the hole I was in and my truck decided #2 Rod looked better on the outside. I was forced to let her go with all my reserve used up. So I took the local job. Most of the time im in a 12 Yard mixer with 2 drop axles Grossing around 76 to 77K. I sometimes get to pull our dump trl. around. But since I have been local and not OTR for 5 years most companys dont wanna touch me as I am finding out and those that do, Just not needing drivers. So KY24 guess I will wait for the door in Atl. to open up and try not to kill the hero's I gotta work under now LOL. We really need to start a board to just vent on LMAO would make for some good reading. Im Out.
