Been at it for almost year, looking for advice on the next step

The Fuel Hauler Thread


I thoroughly enjoyed hauling fuel when I was at it. The pay could have been better, but the reality is hauling fuel is a super simple job. Just enough physical activity to keep your blood flowing. Was always fun when you got to stop at a station on fri/sat night in downtown or on the beach and got to see eye candy for miles.

 

Driving in congested areas is no big deal.

Cars will always move for a truck. If they don’t want to at first just drive and keep an eye on them. Some times they need a little convincing.

If a car hits you oh well... our drivers get hit all the time by people on phones and what not.

If that’s all that’s holding you back don’t let it be. I’d rather work in the city than stare at corn all day.

 

Oh yeah screw getting paid per load. So many ways to lose money.

Line at the racks, traffic and break downs. Don’t even do it to yourself. You’re gonna be racing around everywhere stressed out. The only reason they pay per load is to benefit them.

Per hour with ot or tell them to kick rocks.

 

Those shifts are gonna go to the senior drivers more than likely.

My last job was for a fuel company. I hauled DEF but the guys on day shift were all senior guys.

 

Check Phoenix out if you want to haul fuel locally.

Truckloads of fuel haulers there.

Cost of living is pennies compared to Massachusetts.

Western Refining is the top of the food chain there, and should be your goal.
You need 3 years to get in with them.
