I'm trying to keep abreast of changes in the fuel hauling business.
Does anybody know what happened to GoPetro? They seem to be out of busines, but they were the in-house fuel hauler for Energy Transfer / Sunoco / Stripes, back when Sunoco and Stripes were all part of Energy Transfer.
And does anybody know anything about SWTO? They're supposed to be the in-house carrier for 7-Eleven / Speedway.
GoPetro / SWTO

Used to be SW , but another outfit took it over a few years ago .RockinChair and Flat Earth Trucker Thank this. -
I’ve been with swto for a measly 4 months, what questions can I answer?
RockinChair and lual Thank this. -
Since hauling fuel is of course inherently dangerous work:
- How many weeks was your training?
- Are you satisfied with the level/quality of your training? If not -- please specify where/how they fell short.
- Are you satisfied with the level/quality of your equipment (trucks, trailers, hoses, valves, etc) -- & their upkeep? If not -- why not?
- How well do the Speedway stores you service maintain their in-ground tanks & related venting? Are they maintained on a professional level -- or not? If not -- what are the problems? Are the store in-ground tanks (mostly) located remotely away from each store's fuel pumps -- or (instead) fairly close?
- Are you paid by the hour -- or by the load? What is your overtime pay (if any)?
- What is your shift (nights, or days)? Were you given any choice of shifts -- or were you given what was available? What days of the week are you off duty?
- How much vacation do you get -- first year?
- For the market that you are working -- are you satisfied with your pay, so far? Are you on track (thus far) to break six figures (or not)? In some markets -- you most definitely should be....
- When you go to the fuel racks to fill your trailer -- do you incur fuel allocation issues -- or is correct fuel allocation fairly straightforward, & quick? Does Speedway supply its own fuel (like Pilot & Loves) -- or does it instead get fuel from other suppliers?
- From your experiences there, thus far -- can you genuinely recommend this fleet to other hazmat tanker drivers? If not -- why not?
- Would you say that your management & safety depts there are generally reasonable with their authority -- or are they instead abusive &/or overbearing?
-- LShookboy Thanks this. -
Thank you in advance.
