[QUOTE="lual, post: 12373531, member: 308783"][USER=302787]@LeGendofSeven[/USER] -- Before you interview with Sheetz, note that.... Fuel hauling positions are usually seniority-based. That means that it's likely you will start out there delivering on nights, weekends, and also on holidays. :( Also: you will probably be "slip seating" a daycab rig with another driver. If the other driver is a slob....then this arrangement could very well suck. Depending on the customer base--many fuel deliveries are in smaller parking lots....where you as the driver are just too "up close and personal" with the rest of the driving public (aka, idiots) as you go about your delivery. Despite the fact that the store really can't stay open long without fuel--you (somehow) are in everyone else's way. :rolleyes: In your area, you will spend part of your time scraping/sweeping snow and/or ice off of each store's fuel drop lids, too. The above....combined with long wait times (potentially) at the fuel terminals....are why fuel jobs are almost always available.....to those willing to put up with all that. Thus...the pay for hauling fuel is usually pretty good....BUT....you will indeed earn it. However--if you haul for a private fleet....like Sheetz....there are usually fewer headaches, and more perks....with the job. Also...usually better maintained...and newer, better-looking equipment. -- Lual[/QUOTE]
