I started at Maverick and my trainer was from Kentucky-he hadn’t missed a weekend home in a decade.
There’s about twenty of us at my terminal that cross the border multiple times a day at multiple locations. In six years, I’ve never had my phone...
That tridem is similar to what we run in NY. Our compartments are 3400,1800,1100,2900,3300. 107k gross with 12500 of gas.
I did my first two years with Maverick flatbed. They’ve got a terminal up near Chicago too.
Not a major corridor right now, but when the Amazon distribution center goes in next year just down the road, they’ll be looking pretty smart.
I always find it interesting how carriers are regarded differently in different areas of the country. Around here, Pilot/Flying J is considered...
No, we're out of western New York.
Methanol. My experience differs from Rockinchair's as to location difficulty. We service about 50 tank farms across the state, and there is not...
Weirdly enough, that would be me. Five years driving and have never pulled a box trailer or any trailer with a regular set of tandems. First two...
Depend on the state. For gas, we run 12500 gallons on six axles and 13300 on seven. That is all five compartments right to 90%. Diesel is less...

Thyme, I actually built a rig at the beginning of the year with the idea in mind that I might want to take it on the road with me if local ended...
We haul fuel here at 107k on 6 and 117k on 7.
Thanks for the kind words. As for a monitor, don't have one yet, just have it plugged into a tv I had when I was otr. I've been watching videos...
It's definitely not a budget build. Came in at $2239. Could have easily shaved a few hundred off though-I ended up with the more expensive case...
I’m also 6’6” and been hauling fuel for the last year and a half with absolutely no problems in a Pete 579 day cab. My terminal manager is even...

I do it as a company driver when gas/lp is slow. Season? We don’t stop hauling it.
I work out of Tonawanda-actually a great little spot for local work. Several line haul outfits have terminals there-r&l, od, ups, ward, saia, yrc,...
Several of our older guys use the above tool. As a night guy, got to have an intrinsically safe flashlight. I also carry a small adjustable curve...
