Hey guys, going to start an experience thread on them. I have high hopes.
H.R Ewell is a smaller family owned Dry and liquid bulk with about 200 drivers.
They pay percentage of the load.. Starting at 23% with .5 Increase every 6 months.
Benefits are looking pretty good so far as well. Also, Detention pay and breakdown pay is pretty decent as well compared to others.. 18 P/H after 2 hours or immediately after a breakdown.
Mostly small mack and peterbilt's as drivers are normally out 2-3 nights per week.
So, I put in an application with no tanker experience. They called me a couple days later to set up an interview and a driving test. Interview went well, they went over everything with me an answered all questions I had.. The recruiter also drives.. So, that was nice.. We went on a 30-45 minute driving test.. Taking turns, had me back.. Pretty simply.. Mixture of city and highway.
Following the interview and driving test he offered me the job.. I accepted.
They sent me for a drug test right then and there to expedite the process.
So, I start next Monday.
I'll keep this thread updated with my experiences.
Also, If anyone has suggestions for me.. Let me know. I'm coming out of a day cab hauling oversize loads for pennies to this.. Thanks!

You'll enjoy pulling tankers. It's the best thing I've ever done! I don't know how often it is you guys come up to Maine, but I usually see at least one Ewell truck a week.
Smut Thanks this. -
Good luck driver, I had my time at ewell too. Tankers are the best trailer to pull and i happily wouldn't pull anything else. I just wont do it for them, again.

I worked for Ewell and they paid ok and treated me well. Their shop guys are great and it was nice to always have clean equipment. I'm hauling fuel, home every day and a little more money but I miss getting free candy at some deliveries
dennisroc Thanks this. -
23% is a joke better be at least 25%.I live near there terminal in east earl pa and I pull tanker but heck no would I pull for that.Reminds me of elite services in denver pa that wanted to pay me 21.65% to pull a flatbed running ltl to florida and said I could make 1000 a week,Please wake me up when your serious but you get to drive a 379/389 pete that's governored at 70 lmao!If you ain't making at least 25% your getting robbed!
