    With either carrier -- just understand (up front) that it's likely you will start out on nite-shift duty. You will likely also work weekends -- & on holidays.

    The payoff? It's great experience (assuming you maintain a good safety record). In the future -- other carriers have a lot of respect for a good track record with fuel-hauling duty.

    To reap the full benefits of such -- make up your mind to stay with either job for AT LEAST a year & a half.

    2 years (or longer) is actually much better.

    I’d go back to open deck if it paid anywhere close to what we’re doing, but the money just isn’t there.

    No idea on pay. Team Logistics is a contract carrier, which can lead to more potential uncertainty when it comes to work and guarantees. Going there isn't a bad move per say, but I would prefer Circle K if both options were on the table.

    I interview with the terminal manager or regional manager whatever he is today in about 2 hours for circle k and team logistics already gave me a an offer of employment letter and they want me to start at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. So I just have to pick a start date with them
