How is FL. Rock ¿

I have a buddy that started with them a few months ago. He runs out of Panama City, FL.
He seems to like them fine.

Unless you get real lucky, you’ll start out on nights.

And, unless you have experience, you’ll go work with a trainer for a few weeks.

 

Their drivers up here in Athens seem to like it...BUT, they all say the company has a very "corporate" feel to it. Safety man always looking over your shoulder. Safety meeting like every other week, etc. FRT was one of the 1st companies I interviewed for when I was trying to get into tanker work. I got a bad vibe during the interview. I was offered the job, but never followed up with them.

 

30 years ago they were the lowest of all tanker companies ( Jax Fla) so I hope they have improved

 

Ones in charlotte must be hourly....never seen them get in a hurry

 

They seem to make decent weekly pay, but those salaries reported seem awfully low

 

I had a neighbor in Florida did fuel for them . He liked them alright.

 

Those numbers don't add up. $1358/week is over $70K/year...which I would say is fairly realistic around Atlanta. That's about the same thing I make up here about an hour Northeast of Atlanta.

 

A friend of mine once worked for FR. He said that's an astronomical number for weekly pay. An FR is a 3rd party carrier so it's more like 55k-62k he said depending on what area your in.

 

I used to haul fuel additives out of Fairburn GA and the FRT driver that loaded there always seemed happy. If you can get a on dedicated ethanol or something that does stop pay like fuel additive you will do well.
