Yeah, it’s a shame cause I originally wanted to drive for them even before I got my CDL but they weren't hiring CDL graduated and wanted at least 6 months experience, they were paying 60CPM then, when I had 6 months, they dropped to 45CPM for 6 months experience and if you have 1 year + experience, you'll get 60CPM, now that I finally have a year, they dropped again for everybody coming this year to 48CPM LMFAO!! My brother-in-law told me he has a friend that's working at company doing Dry Van, getting 65CPM, 3000 miles a week, 34 every weekend, and he's putting me on with them, that he would rather stay home than take 48CPM. Maybe I should go with them instead. The crazy thing is, I thought that Tanker was more "dangerous and pay more money" than Dry Van and Reefer? LOL!!

 

My co has a Costco dedicated running out of the west palm beach dc…home weekly as well..new account…

 

I'll check it out, thanks man.

 

Nice! How's night time driving, you didn't fall asleep did you lol?

 

The thing is, IRT was the only Tanker company that I felt like I liked the most among the other Food Grade companies, I didn't want to do Dry Van/Reefer because I heard they go to tight places for deliveries, even me ( Flatbed ) I go to tight areas sometimes especially going to Miami, where I have to back out and jack knife the trailer in the middle of the freaking road just get out and I hate that lol... Tanker, not so much, well OTR at least. Looks like I'm gonna have to compromised lol.

 

Some tanker deliveries you have to back all the way around buildings and other crazy stuff. It aint all gravy. Lol

 

It's all about the job it's self, not the trailer . I'm actually heavily considering going back to a reefer if things don't get better in a year. I know a heavy hauler who makes 70k a year OTR and I know a reefer driver who makes 100k a year hauling stinky cold chicken . The scariest is the fuel hauler making 58$ a year in Mississippi

 

When I applied for my mortgage, they wanted to see bank statements for the past 3 months to verify what I was actually being paid from the employer deposits. I couldn't provide a W2 as I had been working less than a year.

This was a mortgage company so they may have had different requirements than a bank or credit union.

 

There is one customer I have been to a few times where you have to back into a warehouse and half through it snaking around stacks of pallets and forklift drivers who think that they would win in a collision with a semi.
