Going tanker with Comcar CTL - what can I expect?

I've talked to some tanker drivers that only made $50K the first year and personally worked with two new cdl grads that made $65K the first year. Your first year will be the lowest in pay, but still better than most college grads.
There's drivers with Trimac that make over $100K.
In 24 months you can write your own ticket. Good choice going with tankers.

 

Yes, that's right...."Only $50K". I normally pulled hazmat liquid but occasionally pulled non-hazmat dry bulk. Sometimes unloaded beside Bulkmatic trucks and those drivers were making $65K and mostly hauled flour for that particular customer; Bisquick in Kansas City.

 

Been pulling tankers for a couple of years now....just take it easy, be patient and watch the curves. Love what I do and hope you do too

 

By going with a COMCAR Company you can transfer to the other divisions if you wish after doing a year. I pull Plant Loads in reefers for MCT out of Sanford, Fl. I have talked to a couple of the Tanker Boys. They seem to be happy. Most seem to pull non HazMat loads, Dry Tanks but they do some HazMat. Good Luck and I agree with the previous post, good choice to pick Tankers. After a year or two you can write ur own ticket.

 

We had drivers that left and drove tankers then came back begging

 

CTL is a good outfit to start with.

Good Luck.

Merry Christmas

 

Starting out in tankers is the best move a rookie can make in my opinion. I doubt I'll ever pull anything else. Making 65k plus a year isn't even hard especially after that first year.

You should document your experience for us over in the tanker forum. We don't get to many Comcar drivers over there.

 

If I only made 50k it would mean I only worked about 7 months that year.
