Gas hauling

Not really worth it, but what is....

It's not that hard . You just have to have a routine and stick to it.

They carriers/terminals will not tolerate screw ups...and you might have 3 products on the truck putting them into 4-5 tanks in the ground.

A lot going on if you know what I mean.

 

I almost six years gas hauling, it's been the easiest money i've made aside from container hauling.
$1150-1300 easy

 

If you think $1300 is good money , well 20 years ago gas haulers were making that......and more.

But this is progress .

 

I hauled gas for 11 years. I tell everyone getting into it tues wed will be your days off and prob night shift. that is the norm in the Cincy area.

Two best pieces of advice I can give is: ALWAYS HOOK TO THE GROUND BEFORE THE TRAILER!!! Make the product go into a tank, preferably the right one!
Secondly: CHECK YOUR BOL BEFORE LEAVING THE TERMINAL, BEFORE EXITING THE CAB, AND AGAIN BEFORE PULLING THE HANDLE! Cross drops are the most lonely feeling in the world. I had one and it is no fun... And yes they are all a big deal!

 

I can only judge by todays standards. Plus I said easy money.

 

I did 93k my best year hauling gas. I was with a great company and worked a lot of 6 day weeks. I would say 70k would be good average at least around here starting out.

 

The thing I liked was steady work.

 

I agree. Where I'm at we didn't have a slow period.
