eagle transport(tanker)? any info?

I am in Nashville. Eagle has been good to me. We have had rate increases since I started 7 months ago.

We are getting new Cascadias, and T660's. They are going to bring in a safety bonus based on your 1.5% of your pay per quarter. And an annual safety bonus.

My terminal has the highest turn over rate. Most leave for other fields. Some get fired for being stupid.

I am happy here. I did take a big cut in pay by going on days. If I didn't have a sweetie I would have stayed on nights. Many guys won't consider days because the money is too good at night!

 

@Rug Trucker How do they pay you; by percentage or by the hour? I have been thinking of moving down south to North Carolina and been thinking about them out of their Wilmington terminal. I have been pulling tanker here in the Pittsburgh area so I got the experience.

 

Eagle pays percentage. Some loads pay better than others.Some are around $20 an hour others are less. If you kiss your tm, and dispatchers ### you will do really well. The equipment is not perfect but when most of the trucks run 24 hours a day things are going to break. Just hope that you share a truck with someone that cares about the equipment. Otherwise you will be the one who is making $10 an hour getting the equipment fixed. Somethings just never get fixed 2336
I am glad that I moved on to bigger and better things.

 

Have you seen the video of the fire in Charlotte yet??

 

Hi Mike. You the Mike that moved to Cheeecago?

2336 got fixed. They took it to Chatttanooooogee.

 

Yep the TM told me it was me! I told him no way. Then I saw the fire!

I understand that drivers is "now available to the industry."

Wish I could get access to that video. We have our December safety meeting today. Taking us to Shoney's.

 

I guess that guy came in the next day and when they told him they had a video they wanted to show him, he asked "Is this gonna take long, cause I have a long night ahead"

 

I guess he got to spend it wonder what he was going to do for a living.........
