From what I’ve seen, food grade doesn’t pay as well as hazmat and the hassles of hazmat aren’t that bad, though I haven’t pulled chemicals. I...
I’ve noticed over the years that you hear a TON about terrible places to work, and very little about good places to work...
So how do they like it? I assume pretty well if they’re buying new trucks.
Random update after about forever for anyone still interested... So last fall i did get sick of my fuel transport job, quit for a job at the...
No. They still aren’t looking for anyone as of a couple weeks ago. Kind of going in the other direction; I’m about to take a local propane job....
Do they have all that extraneous safety nonsense on their daycab LTL trucks, too? I was also wondering if anyone on here knows anything about the...
Well, I did not get a new job. But it was more of a ‘some guy who used to work there called them over the weekend and they took him back’ sort a...
In case anyone was still wondering... I talked to them last week; going in for an interview this week. They’re small so there isn’t a lot to...
I did three months pulling food grade; the pay wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, there was a lot of waiting and screwing around that wasn’t...
That sounds fairly awful. Pebble lime was bad enough, that sometimes had some pretty big chunks in it. I heard a guy where I worked plugged his...
I never had to do that, but one time unloading I was able to unplug a hose with an empty hopper by basically doing that. I hauled a lot of pebble...
Depends on the product being hauled I'd guess; the extra space is necessary sometimes. When I was doing it, I hauled mostly lime and flyash with a...
I drive for a small fuel company in the Midwest and have ended up with trailer #1. Shop tells me it is in fact their very first semi trailer the...
Finished two days of ride alongs and a day of office time this week. Saw the truck I'll be driving, I guess I'll be in a daycab (not so bad), a...
The wife tells me I already got the letter from the TSA saying they'll tell the DMV they can send me my license with the endorsement on it. That...
TWIC doesn't seem to be useful for much outside of a very narrow purpose... I forgot to ask if it could count as a form of proof of ID (like,...
Ok, got through the hazmat test last week (pretty easy after reading the manual and spending some time on the practice tests) and even made the...
I'm guessing that, as with everything else, having a current TWIC doesn't make the background/fingerprinting for the hazmat any easier?
Been a little while since I've been on here, thought I'd throw out an update. More or less it's been ok, had one bad trip where it seemed nothing...
Yeah, so far as I'm aware food grade doesn't vent unless you're unloading (or loading through the discharge pipe.)
