Eagle transport vs Gemini

On the 24th of last month I passed all my tests and started my background check for hazmat, also passed tanker and doubles/triples. Been looking into either local LTL P&D city driving or doing fuel delivery.

Figured I'd ask about eagle transport out of the Jacksonville area. I applied to them and Gemini, just haven't been able to get ahold of anyone at both places to see if they've reviewed my application.


I know gemini pays by the load though I'm sure it differs from place to place since i applied for the Ocala, FL position. Though I was reading on eagles site and say they guarantee $600/week based on a 6 day work week. I'm guessing that they pay salary and maybe that's the base pay? Anyone work for eagle care to chime in, I'm sure their drivers get paid more than that and hopefully aren't having to work 6 days a week.


Just wanted to ask

 

Yeah that's what I thought, I'm thinking that if they have you come in but you don't work a full shift you're still guaranteed a paycheck or something but that's what I thought too. Hauling fuel should pay WAY more than that. I'm hoping gemini calls me soon.


Also yes, lone star is a good company but not if you want to be home often, and when I say often I mean once a month. I was out 6 weeks last time and was given flak about wanting to be home for a week. It was my aunts birthday and I'm a very family oriented person so I'm wanting to go local. I also have a girlfriend now and wanting to be home even more.

 

That's what I did, I screwed up when I went to work for PFG. $500/week take home pay for working my Butt off 4 days a week. Working all kinds of crazy hours and sometimes working 18-20 hour days and only getting $120 or so for it. No thanks.

Now I'm trying to get into the good paying local jobs. I got my Hazmat, Tanker, and doubles/triples so I'm going to apply for fedex freight if Gemini doesnt call me soon. If Eagle calls me I'll ask them about the pay, because If i'll be making 600-800 a week gross pay hauling fuel 4-5 days a week, no thanks.

 

I'll look into them also then. I'm holding out for now waiting for eagle or gemini to call me before I plunge into LTL. I really want to haul fuel

 

Yeah eagle pays night shift differential, though I'm not sure if gemini does. Either way I just want to do it because it would be easier work for more or the same pay as LTL I suppose though I'm unsure.


I'm just looking to get local and may end up going to LTL depending on the pay of the fuel companies I applied to.
