    No, you get paid extra for pumping load off, but don't have too

    How' It going so far? Any decent paying loads so far? Or examples of loads you pulled so far with boasso? Is pay weekly or do they hold back 2 or 3 weeks? And is there a speed limit policy?

    Still driving my company truck, they haven't put mine in the elog system yet, that's Chalmette, when I get in today I'm cleaning their truck out, I'll make $1450 gross, can figure $1100 + or - after taxes,
    1 week holdback, company trucks are set at 67cruise 70 foot, o/o are not set, but if you start getting tickets they frown, write up, if 15 over they pull your lease,
    This week I've pulled 5, Monday was Memphis to Linden, Alabama, other 4 was empty tank from Memphis to Ft Smith, Ar drop mt hook loaded bring from Ft. Smith back to Memphis to rail then returned to terminal for next empty. Hooked up now about to make 5th load this week.
     
    Tdgraham Thanks this.

    I know when you hire in you have 2-3 days computer work, I've seen drivers at the terminal I'm out of in Memphis, be ready for dispatch either Friday or wait until Monday morning to get their gear ready and in truck, only ppe that they gave me was hardhat and safety vest, chemical gloves if you ask for them for handling fittings that they issue to fit the 3 inch Britain threaded ISOs, I had my own FR suit, and chemical suit/rubber boots I bought couple years ago that I have never worn since working here at this company, but used to have to wear one of those at least every other day at last job.
    Of course some plants require long sleeve, pants, steel toe boots, hard hat, that's usually our ppe
