Inexperienced tanker driver

Good luck with a relay on that. Unless they have an hourly paid local driver with hours needing to be used or someone needing to get home it probably won't happen.

Superior has a no air/pump policy. We either air off the load or pump it off, never both at the same time. That must be some thick stuff and with 120 feet of hose plan to be there a while. How would you like to be the relay driver giving up a load with miles on it for whatever you get paid for the unload.

I would just get it there as soon as I could and make some layover pay. For us 24 hours is a little over $150. That is money that doesn't subtract from your 70. Surely there is some layover pay for you on that load. It could be better in the long run financially. Does Schneider pay for 34 hour resets on the road?

 

$65 hardly makes it worthwhile but it's better than nothing I guess. How do they pay it? Do you have to sit for 24 hours to get anything?

For us its 14 hours sitting paid for 10 at $15 per hour and repeat until we are moving. Even short delays can add some money to the check since we are on the clock anytime we sit more than 14 hours. There are lots of 2 and 3 hour layovers paid due to appointment times.

Hopefully your air/pump is into a plant pump. We are not allowed to run both our truck air and truck pump at the same time. Its too dangerous.

 

So on an air/pump you guys air up the tank and pump until the pressure drops too 15, then air it up some more?
